Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.30.1-2
Severity: normal
After setting the /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi key to the integer value
120 by command line (default = 96), the 'Appearance window' cannot be openned
any more.
The Size of the window become extremely large (>10000 pixels) or just crash.
No way to reset the configuration (dpi font size) with a GUI way.
This bug is reported here for ubuntu, and the version 3 of gnome has made this
bug deprecated under ubuntu :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/386573
The solution is to do
gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi
Because : this key doesn't allow integer value. You must specify a float type.
