Bug 1004615

gnome-tweak-tool run as user maxwell; Failure showing "Windows" tab.

Description of problem:

Some of us are seeing multiple Fedora 19 installations where gnome-tweak-tool fails to show the "Windows" tab that allows configuration of window related features such as Window focus mode and title bar click-actions.

On my primary desktop I've noticed that if I run gnome-tweak-tool as root, it works fine, but not as my user, 'maxwell'.

"gnome-tweak-tool --debug" suggests that there are configuration variables missing:

INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences (key theme)
INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences (key action-double-click-titlebar)
INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences (key action-middle-click-titlebar)
INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences (key action-right-click-titlebar)
INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences (key focus-mode)
INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences (key mouse-button-modifier)
INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences (key resize-with-right-button)
INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences (key raise-on-click)

INFO    : GSettings missing key org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences (key titlebar-font)

I'll post a complete --debug output for root and user on my system as attachments.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 19, fresh install.  Updated to 2013.0904.

How reproducible:
Consistent, on this system and one other.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 19
2. Create user
3. Run gnome-tweak-tool as user
4. Observe whether the "Windows" tab is present
5. Failure = No "Windows"

Actual results:
--debug errors when run by my user.

Expected results:
A visible "Windows" tab and the ability to configure WM options.

Additional info:
It's possible that gnome-tweak-tool is not the root of this problem and that whatever creates a default configuration database is not doing so properly.  That said, it would be very nice if gtt would identify missing values and create defaults for them so users can configure as needed without having to use gconfeditor.
