Package: gnome-mplayer
Version: 1.0.8-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I noticed a misbehavior of gnome-mplayer with respect to the dconf
configuration management.
After the following steps:
0) start dconf-editor
1) reset all gnome-mplayer/gecko-mediaplayer preferences to their defaults
2) quit dconf-editor
3) start gnome-mplayer
4) enter its preferences dialog window and just take a look around
(without changing anything)
5) exit from the dialog window
6) quit gnome-mplayer
7) start dconf-editor
many settings are again marked as manually-changed (in boldface font),
even though almost all of these are actually equal to their default
value; some values are indeed non-default (such as audio-lang, for
instance).
I do not experience this awkward behavior, if I skip steps 4 and 5.
It seems to me that the gnome-mplayer internal configuration dialog
window does something strange to ~/.config/dconf/user ...
I don't think it should save anything to the configuration file, if I
haven't changed any setting at all! In other words, the configuration
file should stay absolutely untouched, unless I actually changed
something.
And anyway, it should not mark settings as manually-changed, if I
haven't changed them manually.
Finally, it should not set some options to non-default values (such as
audio-lang, for instance), if I haven't done anything to them.
I think that the configuration dialog is not working as expected.
Please forward this bug report upstream.
Thanks for your time.
