GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 794565
Drop some old stuff
Last modified: 2018-03-21 20:43:27 UTC
Drop: - dconf->gconf migration (see bug 792990) - mc integration: has been disabled for at least 6-7 years, allows some code cleanup - --load-config option, has no corresponding save-config, probably also a leftover from years ago
Created attachment 369961 [details] [review] Drop prefs migrator (and gconf dependency)
Created attachment 369962 [details] [review] Drop dead code (esp. mc integration) Drop some long-dead code mostly around mc integration, a bit around desktop_{is,opens}_home_dir.
> - --load-config option, has no corresponding save-config, probably also a > leftover from years ago It's related to some automatic session management, restoring the windows after a crash or similar. See e.g. bug 586308, and the hidden --sm-whatever config options (smclient_goptions[] in the source). (No clue _how_ the settings are saved, though.) Does this thing still exist in GNOME, or is it dead stuff?
There's a request (bug 766503) about bringing back --save-config, so I'd say let's keep the --load-config (also you could hand-craft the file).
