Bug 95746 – gnome-dictionary applet doesn't keep selected dictionary between sessions

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Gregory Kovriga 2005-06-10 23:30:38 UTC]

Version: gnome-applets-2.10.0
Changing the dictionary in dictionary applet doesn't keep the setting between
the sessions.
If you take a look at gnome-dictionary in GConf editor, the value for
"dictionary" remains "!" (all) even when dictionary settings were changed
through the applet's "Preferences" dialog.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add "dictionary lookup" applet to the gnome panel
2. Open "Preferences" and change the dictionary to "WordNet"
3. Restart the session and do it again - the preferences will show "All" instead
of "WordNet"

This looks like this bug: http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163277

I've committed a new revision of gnome-utils (2.10.1-r1), including the upstream
patch that should fix this problem. Could you please emerge this revision and
confirm if the bug is solved?

Thanks.
