Bug Description

I ran the command gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false, and then I ran the gconf-editor, and the value that gconftool set, did not appear to be set when viewing it with gconfeditor.

This is what gconf-editor looks like, at the same time I ran this:

$ gconftool -g /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch
false

At the same time, clicking on that auto launch thing does not affect the output of the above command.

That seems to be related to it being run over ssh, but the gconftool isn't properly setting it when it should be setting it when using ssh.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
