Bug Description

Binary package hint: moblin-session

As soon as I log in to a Moblin session, the gconf key /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style is forcefully changed to "icons", regardless of my previous setting. This is wasteful, improper and probably unnecessary.

With Ubuntu, it is reasonable to expect that a user could be bouncing between a GNOME and Moblin session at will, since the option to do so is available from GDM and the two have very distinct strengths and weaknesses. However, GNOME is considerably more usable with the default setting of both-horiz for toolbar_style, and in addition that is the setting we want and expect users to have unless they have explicitly chosen otherwise. (That is why the GUI configuration was removed and the default set to that).

I'm fairly ignorant of how this works, but if Moblin in Ubuntu must have the toolbar_style set to icons only, maybe it can be done by setting a default when the moblin-session package is installed. That way a user can still change it from Moblin's default and not have it change back every time he logs in.
