christian,

thanks for your help

ok. thanks for clarifying

yes:

-rw-r--r-- 1 mc mc 13005 Apr 5 23:08 /home/mc/.config/dconf/user
-rw------- 1 mc mc 2 Apr 25 08:13 /run/user/1000/dconf/user

odd that /home/<user>/.config/dconf/user has not been written-to since 5 april

all 'stats' values are set to defaults.

> - can you persists the values with dconf-editor?

this does not work for me. i can change the value in dconf-editor but the
change is not persistent. quitting dconf-editor after making enable-disk-poll
"true" the setting reverts to "false" (the default). there is no error
message written to syslog or to the terminal. this is odd.

as you hint, something must be broken. how can i debug this issue? is there
an error log somewhere?
