Thanks. > Just run clear.exe or gconftool-2.exe to reproduce the problem. You misinterpreted my above statement. I was trying to say, if you see a problem with this snapshot, then tell us how to reproduce it. It's definitely not reproducible with clear or gconftool-2 anymore, since these tools are obviously what I used to reproduce the problem pre-snapshot.
