1 Hi,
2
3 I'm not using the full GNOME desktop but only single applications like
4 'meld'.
5
6 (Only) for some users (including root on one machine and a non-root
7 user on an another machine)
8 meld fails with :
9
10 File "/usr/lib64/meld/meld/ui/historyentry.py", line 121, in
11 _save_history
12 self.__gconf_client.set_list(key, gconf.VALUE_STRING, gconf_items)
13 glib.GError:
14 Configuration server couldn't be contacted: D-BUS error: Can't overwrite
15 existing read-only value: Value for
16 `/apps/gnome-settings/meld/history-direntry' set in a read-only source
17 at the
18 front of your configuration path
19
20
21 I have even removed $HOME/.gconf and $HOME/.local/meld with no success.
22
23 Any hints are very much appreciated,
24 Helmut.
