Description George Goldberg 2009-06-17 05:30:44 UTC

For use in desktop's other than Gnome, a dependency on gconf is unsatisfactory. Mission Control 5 should either remove this dependency, or make it optional in some way.

Comment 1 Will Thompson 2009-06-17 05:44:23 UTC

MC5 does not depend on gconf. :-)

Comment 2 George Goldberg 2009-06-17 05:51:42 UTC

Well, ./configure still fails if gconf is not found... so if it doesn't depend on gconf anymore, perhaps the configure check needs removing?

Comment 3 Simon McVittie 2009-06-22 06:30:34 UTC

The daemon seems to have a useless dependency on gconf headers in mcd-master.c and mcd-service.c.

mc-account-convert.c has a real dependency on gconf, because MC 4 accounts were stored in gconf. We could probably just avoid compiling this utility if gconf is not available.

Comment 4 Simon McVittie 2009-07-01 10:44:42 UTC

The referenced branch makes GConf (and hence mc-account-convert) optional.

Comment 5 Simon McVittie 2009-07-02 02:31:29 UTC

Fixed in git, will be in 5.1.4 (if you don't have GConf, mc-account-convert won't be built)
