Hi all
After installing yad, a gtk3 shell-script dialog implementation, I
finally decided to solve my long-standing issue of some applications
(evince) complaining about
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings
will not be saved or shared with other applications.
at startup.
After digging a bit into gconf and gsettings, I finally found out that
the solution for my problem is to install dconf, which then serves as a
real working backend for gsettings.
After installing dconf and restarting the desktop, the message
disappeared and I am now able to view and changes settings of those
applications. And finally also allow me to change the stupid default of
the gtk3 file chooser to:
gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser sort-directories-first true
It seems to me that while the BLFS has dconf in it, and it is problably
referenced in the gnome section, there is no mention of it in the xfce4
section (apart from mousepad, which is in the editors section).
I'm not sure about where the best place would be, but as gtk3 already
uses gsettings/dconf as it's coonfiguration mechanism, it maybe could be
listed as an optional dependency of gtk3?
Bye
Tim
