[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#473976: Also breaks gconf, apparently

[Sebastian Fontius]

Severity: important

The same problem also breaks GConf, apparently: as far as I can tell,
GConf marks its complete database readonly until HAL is restarted and
every process using GConf (and of course GConf itself) is killed.  As
a side effect GNOME applications cannot store any preferences until
killed and some display a message declaring that the GConf database is
read only when started or used.

To me this changes the severity of the bug to important, as I, and at
least two friends of mine have the same, reproducible problem but only
in this special constellation (libpam-mount + HAL).


Greetings,
