loosing settings

[Ken Lierman <kliermanm bigfoot com>]

All,

Over the weekend i threw together a quick program.  
[if anyone is interrested, it monitors xscreensaver, and runs programs
when the screen blanks, unblanks, etc]

Anyway, it uses gconf and pong for it's settings. However, after some
period of time, all my settings are lost... anyone ever see behavior
like this before?

Basically, there is a gui which allows you to set the settings (through
pong), and a deamon which monitors xscreensaver, then on events reads
the gconf settings and does stuff.  Could there be a problem with 2
programs accessing the same gconf variables? (although the gui shouldn't
actually be accessing the data)

I can't even correlate the loss of the data to a specific event, i can
open/close the gui, have the deamon read data, etc, but after some
period of time the deamon fails to do what expected, and the gui shows
the settings all at their defaults....

???? any ideas?

Thanks!
Ken
