Description Andrew McNabb 2008-05-07 17:07:10 UTC
Description of problem:

The charpicker applet (Character Palette) ignores any changes made to its
preferences in gconf while it is running.


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

gnome-applets-2.22.1-2.fc9


How reproducible:

Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the Character Palette applet (charpicker) to a panel.
2. Modify /apps/panel/applets/applet_0/prefs/chartable and/or
/apps/panel/applets/applet_0/prefs/current_list in gconf.
  
Actual results:

Nothing changes until next login.  Even if you right click on the applet and go
to preferences, the old character tables still appear.

Expected results:

The character tables in the applet should be updated to reflect the new
settings.  These changes should also appear in the preferences dialog.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 10:47:05 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 00:39:48 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 3 Andrew McNabb 2009-06-10 15:36:01 UTC
This still seems to be true in Fedora 11.  In fact, it's a bit worse because the gnome-panel doesn't seem to be dealing with gconf updates as well as it used to.

Comment 4 Andrew McNabb 2009-11-02 23:15:32 UTC
This is still occurring in Fedora 12 beta.  I'll add a comment to the upstream bug report.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 08:05:32 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Comment 7 Andrew McNabb 2010-11-04 18:42:24 UTC
I'm still having problems with charpicker configuration in Fedora 13 and 14.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 20:05:59 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
