As you say, the new values get overwritten after logout and back in gnome, but the numbers of the group uid and source uid of the "Personal" addressbook have grown higher in the rewriting (and so for example, a small sub addressbook which had before a "greater" number than the "Personal", now has a "smaller" one. Maybe it is for that reason that it has been wiped out of the sources file, and maybe it is why gnome keeps overwriting the file?...)
hmmm... questions for developers which i am not. :-) guess it has nothing to say, it's just a unique ID, don't know how it gets calculated though.
I re-edited the sources file, tried to export it as you proposed by doing gconftool-2 --dump etc., went in tty1, shut down gconfd-2 by ps ax | grep gconf, imported the settings by gconftool-2 --load the-file.xml, got back in tty7, restarted the session from there, but then evolution wouldn't start.
hmm... "wouldn't start" is a bit vague... starting evolution from a shell should give you more information, or if evolution crashes a gdb stacktrace.
I got back the previous %gconf.xml file (the name of the file in nautilus and bash), and got evolution running again. I guess I made some writing mistake somewhere, but might the id numbers and their order in the sources file have something to do? Might the rewriting of the numbers get it right again, or would that mess the whole thing up?
another questions for the developers. i'd also guess it was a writing mistake. :-/ cheers and good luck, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
