Description
Re: applications that install schema info
If you install a new app (that installs schemas) while running gnome (for example, you’re using gslapt), your session instance of gconfd-2 will need to re-read the gconf.xml.defaults for the newly installed keys. A simple -HUP signal sent to all the running instances of gconfd-2 should be suffient to have it reload the daemon.
This means users will be able to install and instantly use the gconf app rather than logoff and logon again.
Of course, they could always just manually run `killall -HUP gconfd-2` :) But it might be a nice idea to have this put into the SlackBuild scripts (immediately after the schema-install routine in the package SlackBuilds, to install in the doinst.sh script)

- Status changed from New to Closed
- Target version set to 2.0
for 2.22 only. Packages that add/affect the gconf tree now send a HUP signal to any running gconfd-2 daemon to ensure a re-read of the tree. This will allow happy installing of GNOME packages while running GNOME. :)
