Yes, this is not in dispute. The problem is that either gconf2 (or
gconf, depending on how you think about it) are not correctly
implementing the interface they advertise, and the new gtkhtml+gnucash
currently depends on that behavior being implemented as advertised.

Will you fix the bug in gconf? The patches are clear, and it would be
nice if it got fixed rather than other packages being forced to work
around it.

I am willing to install the workaround in gnucash, as well, if someone
will explain which is the best workaround and why, because I don't
know. My mail to Steve last night asked for this, and I'll upload a
package with a workaround if someone will tell me which one to use (of
the two possibilities) and why that's the right one.

However, that doesn't fix the bug, which has been outstanding against
gconf2 for six months now. Can it please simply get fixed?
