Description Stephan Borg 2002-11-29 23:31:29 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003

Description of problem:
I'm using GCONF_LOCAL_LOCKS env variable to move the lock file to the /tmp
directory.
When I run Galeon it complains about GConfd.When running gconf-sanity-check-1,
it reports:
"Failed to get a file lock: Failed to create or open '/home/user1/.gconfd/lock/ior'
 
I'm assuming that GCONF_LOCAL_LOCKS is not working for this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Mount home directory on a non-ext2 file system
2.export GCONF_LOCAL_LOCKS=1 (ICEAUTHORITY=1)
3.startx
4.galeon
	

Actual Results:  Error - Cannot find a schema for galeon preferences. Check your
gconf setup, look at galeon FAQ for more info.

Expected Results:  Galeon should start with no errors.

Additional info:

hp added:
Yeah the problem here is that Galeon is using gconfd-1, 
which doesn't understand GCONF_LOCAL_LOCKS.
