In a KDE desktop, installing app-backup/deja-dup brings some GNOME dependencies, but it seems it is missing some. The settings are not saved, and when the backup is started, any settings are ignored. Message from command-line : $ deja-dup-preferences ** (deja-dup-preferences:7354): WARNING **: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications. ** (deja-dup-preferences:7354): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited' failed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge deja-dup on a non-GNOME desktop 2. Run deja-dup-preferences 3. Change settings, exit 4. Run deja-dup-preferences again Actual Results: Settings are reset to default Expected Results: Settings should have been saved Portage 2.3.6-r5 (funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/arch/x86-64bit, gcc-4.7.2,

> funtoo/1.0/linux-gnu/arch/x86-64bit ...but let's ignore that bit for a moment. The minimum is dbus running and dconf installed. There might be a thing or two more to check, but without those two you won't get far.
dbus is installed and running. gnome-base/gconf is not installed, nothing depends on it. Manually emerging gconf solves the issue : the configuration remains set. It seems to me that deja-dup should depend on gconf at it relies on it, and no package in its dependency tree currently depends on gconf. I will attach the output of "equery g --depth=10 deja-dup-27.3.1". The only reference to gconf is a pulseaudio dependency, activated when the "gnome" USE flag is set, which is not the case on my system.
Created attachment 357794 [details] deja-dup dependencies
'dconf'!='gconf' even though either would likely work.
Seems like deja-dup-preferences keep preferences when gconf is installed, but deja-dup --backup actually segfaults with the following : (deja-dup:12421): GConf-CRITICAL **: ltable_insert: assertion `gconf_valid_key(where, NULL)' failed Removing gconf and installing dconf solved all problems.
