[Bug 914102] [NEW] Suggestion: do not set gconf env vars to non-existing files

 

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I'm not entirely sure whether this really is a sensible idea, but I'll
let you be the judge of it. I just stumbled over this while trying to
understand the Xession startup process and this seemed off for the
variables to be pointing to non-existent files. If this is intended or
even needed ignore this suggestion.

I am referring to the file gconf/debian/70gconfd_path-on-session.

I am attaching a diff with commented changes I propose, do note however
I do not have knowledge of the inner workings of gconf. :)

Cheers.
