Description Grant Edwards 2015-01-08 17:07:28 UTC

Meld 3.12 requires the dconf back end for gobject/gsettings, but it isn't a
dependency in the ebuild.  If meld 3.12 is installed without dconf, it is unable
to save settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install meld 3.12 w/o dconf
2. Start meld
3. Change preference settings
4. Exit meld
5. Re-start meld
Actual Results:  
Changes to preferences are not saved.

Expected Results:  
Preferences should be saved and appear when meld is re-opened.
