RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Plugins configuration is not re-read after close-open of Preferences dialog.

When I run 2 instances of Gnome application like Gedit or Totem plugins configuration dialogs doesn't reflect changes between multiple application instances like other configuration options/tabs do. This should be consistent with other Properties tabs where configuration is being reread after each time configuration dialog is (re)opened.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gtk3-3.4.3-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Run 2 Gedit instances on 2 machines with shared home.
1. Choose "Edit" - "Preferences" in first Gedit instance and select "Plugins" tab. Then enable "Quick Open" plugin and click "Close".
2. Choose "Edit" - "Preferences" in second Gedit instance and select "Plugins" tab.

Actual results:
Plugins configuration dialog in second Gedit instance does not reflect changes did on first Gedit instance. "Quick Open" plugin is disabled.

Expected results:
"Quick Open" plugin should be enabled.

Additional info:
All configuration changes should be consistent and predictable when running multiple application instances.

There is a shared component in the plugin system of those two applications: libpeas. EOG uses it as well it, can you confirm the bug is reproducible there as well?
Anyway, it looks to me that the plugin configuration is stored as a GSettings key, so I suspect this is due to dconf still missing full support for NFS home directories. Such support is supposed to land upstream this cycle, so we'll see if that helps with this specific situation.

Reassigning to libpeas for the moment.

I can reproduce this bug in EOG.

If we DConf doesn't update GSettings on the other machine, there's nothing libpeas can do.
