Hi Sebastien, thank you for sorting out how settings supposed to correspond with actions. As I understand gconf-editor takes values from user configuration which were made in an app itself and also allows to change settings which take again place within an app. This might also be the reason for not allowing to remove or create keys of course.
The important point of your view is the later, when uninstalling an app including configuration files, system keys are unregistred. This is true as far as concerning e.g. Synaptic, although sometimes I've found still some folders from the removed app and I have to admit I've just removed it manually and wasn't to much annoyed by doing it. But since really no folder or file is left from certain apps, still the key is left in gconf-editor. When this is the case it has to be a bug in the removed app, because the user configuration in my case is that I've removed the app all inclusive. I don't know another way how to configure a setting which says: Remove also the keys in gconf-editor. Please correct if I misunderstand something, thanks. -- gconf-editor shows entries/folders that do not exist anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217750 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
