Mistake in README file

[finss]

Hello,

I've used GConf-Cleaner and it doesn't work fine directly on my PC :
for example it have drop my sound configuration :/

So i wanted to undo my actions and run the command gconftool --load
myfilefromgconfcleaner.reg like written in README file. It doesn't
work :(

I've searched then I found :) the right command wasn't gconftool but
gconftool-2 ( the difference is small... ) for my Ubuntu Feisty.

I think it's important to notify it in the README file.

Best regards,

finss

Hi,

In advance, thank you for using gconf-cleaner and sending your
feedback here.

Well, it's quite difficult to prevent the sort of that issue because,
technically speaking, gconf-cleaner is determining the potential
unnecessary keys from whether or not it's managed under schemas. which
describes the type and the description of keys etc.
Apparently there are two cases that is happening the sort of that
issue on gconf-cleaner. it is:

a. the application doesn't have the proper schemas for all of the keys
it uses and it just adds/removes/updates the keys through GConf APIs.
in this case, you can even remove such keys from gconf-editor say
without any notice nor fallbacking to the default value.

b. the application is hard to have schemas for the keys that put onto
the unique paths.

case b) is particularly likely to happen on applets and gnome-terminal
etc etc. gconf-cleaner has a black list to ignore such keys. ideally I
hope GConf has any ways of helping on this case.
I'd say case a) is a bug of that application. so if it's the case, I
won't do anything and shouldn't do anything in gconf-cleaner.

So I'm not sure what the kind of keys you lost with gconf-cleaner,
please file an issue to Issue Tracker with the gconf path and keys too
perhaps if you like.

Thank you for letting me know. I'll fix that too.

I don't have good skills to read French but gconf-cleaner isn't
relevant to GSoC at all, but just hosted by Google Code.
