Bug Description

Binary package hint: gconf-editor

In gconf-editor ctrl-c is overriden to copy the key name instead of the selected value.
upstream does not want to change this, I hope that at least in ubuntu we should have a normal ctrl-c behavior, and remove the menu shortcut keybinding

thank you for your bug report, could you give the pointer to the upstream discussion and why they don't want to do the change? usually we try to not do something upstream refuses to do without having a strong rational for the change

Seems upstream didn't really decided they would not do this since the bug is still open, I'm not sure we care enough about gconf-editor which is not a standard user software to do changes in the ui over GNOME this way
