I've wasted one hour installing gnome and updating the other packages. I've compiled the original port without my one-line change, i.e. with gsettings enabled. I've open/close (exactly) 50 times emacs with C-x C-c. I'm writing this mail with emacs on gnome. *All works OK*. Also, it's not my port. The author is Manuel. I don't know if the port is right or if is broken. I don't care. I can't judge the quality of this port because I haven't read the ports documentation (but is in my todo). Sometimes, I test some ports of this list because I think that the tests are very important, but I never talk about quality of the ports. I've been fighting (as a user) with compilations and dependencies for almost 13 years, so I think that I can be a good tester for the ports. I just wanted give a advice to other developers based on my experience. The first was a bad advice, the later is correct in my opinion. The developers are free of to listen my advice or not. I'll not change my opinion about gsetting/gnome-setting-daemon for a long time (despite of my very good experience with gnome on openbsd). Again, emacs and other gtk3 applications are broken but the fix is very simple. I never said that gnome or gsettings are a bad thing. I said that gsettings is the usual culprit because a lot of applications have a broken implementation of gsettings. Also, usually gsettings is not essential for the applications. Despite of the possible interpretations of my mail, I'm not upset or something similar. Just this type of threads are very frustrating for me. I waste a lots of time on tests for demostrating something obvious for me and also is very exhausting for me to discuss in English. So, we should not waste more time with this discusion :) -- Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado http://juanfra.info
