Unsettings crashes after upgrade to Utopic

[Warren]

The error seems to be inability to import gconf. This is probably an unsatisfied dependency, but as far as I can tell I have the required python and gconf- packages installed, including gir1.2-gconf-2.0 and python-gconf. Any idea what I might be missing?. Here's the traceback from a command line launch:

~$ unsettings

It may be that gconf has simply disappeared after being deprecated for some time. See "Migrating from GConf to GSettings".

It seems to be a problem only when loading gconf *after* PyGObject. But I'll remove GConf support in the upcoming v0.09. I'll ry to get a first preview version ready in the next few days.

http://www.florian-diesch.de/tmp/unsettings_0.09~pre1_all.deb should work in 14.10 except for the themes. As it didn't get much testing testing yet there may be some bugs.

Tried 0.09~pre1. Installs and launches OK. On clicking close, immediately after launch and having clicked on nothing else, it tells me that I've changed settings and asks whether I want to apply them before exit. Don't think I'll click 'apply' until I know what it wants to change.

Do you get any output if you start it in a Terminal?

I'm presently using the Adwaita theme.
From command line:

~$ unsettings

I can't reproduce this so far. Most likely it's caused by some settings having unexpected values.

Would be nice if you could install http://www.florian-diesch.de/tmp/unsettings_0.09~pre2_all.deb

On exit it should create a file 'unsettings.log' in the current folder that contains information about your current settings and how they are interpreted by Unsettings. Please attach that file.

Sorry, forgot: You need to start Unsettings as "unsettings --debug" for this to work.
