Error in the attached traceback also seen here.

As a workaround comment out line #48 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtweak/tweaks/tweak_nautilus.py.

.............
* debian/patches/05_desktop_menu_export.patch:
- synced on the new upstream version, those options got dropped:
hide toolbar, statusbar, extra panes, tree panel, computer location.

philinux (philcb), thank you for the tip. The workaround works for me.

hi people,

I can confirm the same thing here in Ubuntu 12.10 with Gnome3.5!! And throguh looking at the Synaptic, I found out that all packages referring to Gnome and Gnome-Shell are already up to version 3.5 except of gnome-tweak-tool.

So I would suggest, that gnome-tweak-tool should be upgraded to version 3.5 because of dependcy-problems.

the properties of gnome-tweak-tool say this:

needs python2.7
needs python (>=2.7.1-0ubuntu2)
needs python (>2.8)
needs gsettings-desktop-schemas (>=3.3.2)
needs gnome-shell-common (>=3.4)
needs python-gi (>=3.2.1)
needs gir1.2-gtk-3.0
needs gir1.2-gconf-2.0

Then I checked in my Synaptic and found out, that these package-versions are installed by default:

python2.7 (packe-version 2.7.3-0ubuntu5)
python2.7.1 no package available
python2.8 no package available
python3 (package-version 3.2.3-0ubuntu1)
gsettings-desktop-schemas (package-version 3.5.2-0ubuntu1)
gnome-shell-common (package-version 3.4.1-5ubuntu1)
python-gi (package-version 3.3.2-1)
gir1.2-gtk-3.0 (package-version 3.5.4-0ubuntu1)
gir1.2-gconf-2.0 (package-version 3.2.5-0ubuntu2)

This shows up, that there are dependency-problems!! for example at the package gnome-shell-common. This package is still version 3.4 although the other packages of gnome-shell are already version 3.5!!
As next, the package python-gi is still version 3.3.2-1, although other packages of GNOME are already version 3.5!!
As firther thing, the package gir1.2-gconf-2.0 is still version 3.2.5 and needs to be version 3.5!!

So the following packages need to be upgraded:
gnome-shell-common
gnome-tweak-tool (installed version 3.4 but needs to be version 3.5!!)
python 3 (upgrade from version 3.2.3 to version 3.5!!)
python-gi (version 3.3.2-1 to version 3.5!!!)
gir1.2-gconf-2.0 (version 3.2.5 to version 3.5!!!)

Then I found, that no packages for python 2.7.1 and python 2.8 are available. But these are needed as dependency for gnome-tweak-tool as the output states abouve.

So this needs to be fixed, that gnome-tweak-tool can come back to live!!!

hi people,

I checked this trick from here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-tweak-tool/+bug/1015896

and can confirm, that it works for me. The gnome-tweak-tool came back to live and these mentioned options work in Gnome3.5!! They do not seem to be deprecated!!

Greetings

gnome-tweak-tool 3.5.0 from ricotz/testing ppa also works, but still python errors that need to be fixed.

also didn't work:

TWEAKS = (
    DesktopIconTweak(group_name=TWEAK_GROUP_DESKTOP),
# GSettingsSwitchTweak("org.gnome.nautilus.desktop", "computer-icon-visible", schema_filename="org.gnome.nautilus.gschema.xml",group_name=TWEAK_GROUP_DESKTOP),

ricotz/testing ppa works for me.
