Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gconf-editor
When trying to change the default action upon loading a DVD (launching
VLC as opposed by the default Totem player) those changes are clearly
saved and remain in the configuration tool. However, the system
completely ignores the new settings. Whether I make the new values
'default' or 'mandatory' doesn't matter at all, the system seems to
completely ignore the changes in the settings and keep on executing the
original values.
It seems to me that either the system loads the original values from a
different file than where gconf-editor is saving them, or for some
reason original values seem to have changed visually in the gui, but in
reality they haven't as far as it concerns Gnome configuration.
When I use gconf-editor to edit certain settings I expect that to
override any other settings in the Gnome environment.
After some research I've found that certain settings in gconf-editor
don't correspond with the settings of individual applications, which
basically could confirm my suspicion that there are multiple
configuration files with different values in different places. Or at
least something along those lines.
