Public bug reported: I have used Edgy for a few months. These problems started a few weeks ago, likely after a dist-upgrade.
First, the slow-keys (bounce-keys?) accessibility feature enabled itself. Then I disabled it. Then other problems started. For all users on my laptop: - I get an error message at startup "GConf schema installer error, battery_low_percentage cannot be zero". - Most Gnome keyboard shortcuts stopped working, such as Alt-Tab. - My bottom panel's Window List applet no longer has buttons for each running task. I can't re-add these buttons either, though I added a tiny Window Selector applet which pops up a window menu, and that works fine. - All root-needing apps on the Gnome menus seem to run gksu in su mode instead of sudo-mode. This is useless, as I haven't set a password for my root user. - Weird things have changed with the Gnome panel and transparency/color. Here is the output of $ gconftool-2 --get /apps/gksu/sudo-mode ** (gconftool-2:9658): WARNING **: Owner of /tmp/orbit-j2 is not the current user No value set for `/apps/gksu/sudo-mode' ** Affects: gconf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- battery_low_percentage popup and other issues (GConf problem?) https://launchpad.net/bugs/92963 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
