I've looked at the source code, and AFAICT anything like this should only happen if something really bad is returned from GConf. Otherwise I've got no clue. IIRC I tried debugging this once on a Ubuntu install, but could not reproduce the bug after a recompile from the source tarball.
I need some more debug output to be able to see what's happening. A good place would be in src/preferences-window.cpp in the methods on_size_scale_changed and size_listener. -- Hardware Monitor preferences always resets size to maximum https://launchpad.net/bugs/30379 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
