Okay, so not a gconf vs. dconf issue. > > I guess dconf reset /apps/gecko-mediaplayer/ should reset everything to > > the default values but haven't tried it myself. > > Are you referring to the dconf program from the dconf-tools package? > Maybe I should install that package: it may turn out to be useful in > other cases, as well... Yes, dconf from the dconf-tools package. At this point I don't know what's wrong here. Is dconf-service running? Is dbus running? Is iceweasel/gecko-mediaplayer able to access dbus? (I'm just guessing here. But dbus and dconf-service look like possibly points of failure as they are required to get the settings, AFAICT.) Regards -- Sebastian Ramacher
