Custom key bindings not saved (Gnome 3.2.1)

[Ezod]

I'm using do with fedora 16 (x86_64) and Gnome 3.2.1.

I set a custom binding for starting Do (<Alt>space). After quitting Do and restarting it the key binding falls back to default "<Super>space"

[markusj (markusj)]

Thats the same issue like two years ago (Bug #474619), the GConf keys get translated which leads to a nice fuckup because GConf does not allow non-ASCII-characters for key names.

This bug renders Do unusable.

I have the same problem. The settings are saved in my system language (German) and as a result I'm not able to customize my key-bindings from within gnome-do. Setting them manually, e.g. via dconf-editor works just fine.

The version of gnome-do is 0.8.5

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Is this really the same issue as bug #474619? As far as I can tell, that's fixed in 0.8.5.

Ah. Apparently it isn't.

[markusj (markusj)]

Sure? I have no clue, but if i launch Do in a terminal, i can see the warnings below, which look exactly like the ones in Bug #474619
The relevant part is: "»\303« ist kein ASCII-Zeichen und daher in Schlüsselnamen nicht zulässig", translates to "»\303« is not an ASCII-Character and must not be used for key names"

Oh, wait: \303 is à if i google does not lie at me, so where does à come from? But despite of this, "Löschen" contains a non-ASCII character and i wouldn't expect it to be accepted as key, with respect to this error message. (I don't know anything at all about dconf/gesettings and rely on the warning printed by Do)

[Martin Ziel (martin-ziel)]

I checked the source code and it seems the problem has been fixed in trunk by raof (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~do-core/do/trunk/revision/1335). However, in the recent revision (1362) the fix is reverted.

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

I think this actually needs a slightly bigger fix. I've now got some tests for this, and should push a fix shortly.
