Description of problem: ibus-chewing gets its preference settings from dconf on Fedora but the package still installs gconf schemas. Note that this is not just a Fedora packaging level cosmetic bug: * ibus-chewing needs to fix how the default values of its preferences are set. * The upstream Makefile should be fixed to not generate and install gconf schemas. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ibus-chewing-1.4.3-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. gconftool-2 -R /desktop/ibus/engine/Chewing # ibus-chewing installs its default preference values through its gconf schema 2. dconf dump /desktop/ibus/engine/chewing/ # but it's really using dconf, _NOT_ gconf ibus-chewing should not attempt to install any gconf or dconf schemas if it still intends to use a ibus_config_get_value() based configuration system. See justification below. Additional info: 1. ibus-chewing uses the ibus_chewing_config_get_value() function for configuration 2. ibus_chewing_config_get_value() is implemented with ibus_config_get_value() in libibus-1.0.so 3. ibus_config_get_value() gets its information from the IBus config service on DBus, which apparently has three possible backends: dconf, gconf and memconf Thus ibus-chewing should look at how ibus-anthy and ibus-hangul handles configuration: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ibus-anthy.git/tree/ibus-anthy.spec http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ibus-hangul.git/tree/ibus-hangul.spec and not attempt to install any gconf or dconf schemas if it still intends to use a ibus_config_get_value() based configuration system.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.

(In reply to Scott Tsai from comment #0) > ibus-chewing should not attempt to install any gconf or dconf schemas if it > still intends to use a ibus_config_get_value() based configuration system. > See justification below. Problem is, without installing the schemes, dconf/GConf2 don't know the variable type and default value. In upcoming ibus-chewing, it will provides dconf schema by default. GConf2 support can be enabled by specify -DGCON2_SUPPORT=1 in cmake.
