I've created a PPA with a fixed package (all four patches applied), it fixes the gnome-shell issue for me.
https://launchpad.net/~berni/+archive/ppa Use at your own risk, there is at least one other package for oneiric in there (multi-arch libxp). Download the packages manually and/or remove the repository after you have upgraded. There is also an updated gconf version in the semi-official gnome-shell PPA at https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/testing , you might want to use that instead. A fixed upstream version (3.2.1) should be released soon according to the gnome-bugs bugtracker. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848198 Title: Sporadic gconf error messages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gconf/+bug/848198/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
