Package: gnome-terminal Version: 2.18.4-1 Severity: normal (Also reported upstream, as bug 516380; see <http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516380>.)
In gnome-terminal, opening the profile editor attempts to set the gconf key /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/${PROFILE_NAME}/palette . If that option exists in a mandatory gconf source, this results in an error dialog with the following error message: Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/palette' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path Steps to reproduce: 1. Check that /etc/gconf/2/path has 'include "$(HOME)/.gconf.path"' in it, before the readwrite source in $(HOME)/.gconf 2. Add the following to .gconf.path: xml:readonly:$(HOME)/.gconf.shared 3. Set the key /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/palette in ~/.gconf.shared, perhaps using gconftool-2. 4. Open gnome-terminal, and use the Default profile. 5. Choose the menu item Edit->Current Profile. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii gnome-control-center 1:2.20.3-1 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii gnome-terminal-data 2.18.4-1 Data files for the GNOME terminal ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.21.90-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgconf2-4 2.20.1-2+b1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.20.1-1 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.8-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii liborbit2 1:2.14.10-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libvte9 1:0.16.12-1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 client-side library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-16 A free electronic cataloging syste Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii yelp 2.20.0-1 Help browser for GNOME 2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
