Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

(Not an upstream unity issue, please don't file an upstream bug for this)

Running oneiric with all updates.

Unity doesn't store the launcher icon preferences or doesn't read any dconf setting (e.g. the form factor of dash) unless the dconf-gsettings-backend is also installed along with libdconf0. Unity should depend on dconf-gsettings-backend package as well.

In the latest sync of d-conf from Debian, the libdconf0 binary was split into libdconf0 and dconf-gsettings-backend, both of which are needed in Unity.

See linked branch.

thanks for the work there, we will fix those issues after UDS most likely but it's still early in the cycle

OMG!!! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! LoL!

Excuse my exuberance, but this has been driving me crazy!

Now, all of my Favorites have returned to the Unity Launcher.

Hadn't seen them since upgrading to OO...

Well done!
