Description of problem: Python will segfault if you try to read GConf keys. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-python2-gconf-2.12.4-1.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Pick one: python -c 'import gconf; c=gconf.Client(); c.get_bool("/desktop/gnome/background/draw_background")' python -c 'import gconf; c=gconf.Client(); c.get("/desktop/gnome/background/draw_background")' python -c 'import gconf; c=gconf.Client(); c.get_string("/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename")' Probably others, but I got bored. :) Actual results: segmentation fault python -c Expected results: A return value.
Don't you need to do 'c = gconf.client_get_default()' rather than just instantiating a random GConfClient?
oh, wow, apparently that works. Still, though, shouldn't it not segfault?
Most likely shouldn't. The bug should be filed upstream.
Filed an upstream bug to track this.
