Re: gconf_engine_get_for_address behavior

["Hemanth Yamijala" <yhemanth novell com>]

Mark,

Sorry for not being complete. Here's the complete output:

=======================================
Acquired engine handle using gconf_engine_get_for_address: asas
Could not get engine using gconf_engine_get_local: asas
Message: Couldn't resolve address for configuration source:
 Bad address `asas' 
=======================================

Now, the message you have mentioned also appears. But, I figured
out that was because of permissions problem. Also, I noticed that
the permissions error message comes when we follow the configuration 
source's format correctly: that is, if the input is 
xml:readwrite:/asasa

=======================================
Acquired engine handle using gconf_engine_get_for_address:
xml:readwrite:/asasa
Could not get engine using gconf_engine_get_local:
xml:readwrite:/asasa
Message: Failed:
 Could not make directory `/asasa': Permission denied
=======================================

However, my problem is that, in both the cases,
gconf_engine_get_for_address
is not returning an error. I wanted to know if this behavior is
expected.

Thanks
Hemanth

	What follows the ".." ? Its kind of important - e.g. if you pass
in the
path for a source which doesn't exist and you don't have permissions
to
create that directory you get:

"Message: Failed: Could not make directory
`/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults1': Permission denied"

	That's expected behaviour ..

Cheers,
Mark.
