[Bug 60443] Re: Evolution losts the accounts settings across reboot

[Yachar]

The thing came back, it seems that this is a gconf related problem as you thought first. I now have some messages about gconf in /var/log/syslog (in French) :
Sep 16 00:54:31 pc gconfd (yachar-4747): Aucune des adresses résolues n'est accessible en écriture : l'enregistrement des réglages de configuration ne sera pas possible

It means that no resolved address is writeable, and so that no
configuration changes will be remembered. Creating a ~/.gconf.path with
"xml:readwrite:/home/yachar/.gconf" and gconf-merge-tree ~/.gconf
worked.

I can't understand why gconf doesn't see the ~/.gconf directory, as my
/etc/gconf/2/path is the default one (with xml:readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf
line in it).

It's now a gconf related thing so I think that this bug may be closed. I still can't figure out why Evo and Firefox are the only settings lost ?!
Anyway, sorry for the inconvenience.
