xfconf warnings at session startup

http://svn.xfce.org/index.cgi/xfce?view=revision&revision=29962 broke xfconf at least for me in a way that I get a couple of warnings like the following when I start Xfce:

(xfce4-clipman-plugin:14919): xfconf-WARNING **: Initial query for property "/settings/max-texts-in-history" failed: Property "/settings/max-texts-in-history" does not exist on channel "xfce4-panel"

(full log is attached)


This also causes that I can't set any preferences in the xfce4-clipman-plugin dialog, any changes are ignored.

I tracked it down to the change in http://svn.xfce.org/index.cgi/xfce?view=revision&revision=29962. Using any revision before, doesn't show these warnings and everything works fine, since r29962 it seems broken.

It's not because of the async loading; it's just cuz I forgot to take into account the property base since the async load doesn't go through XfconfChannel, but goes straight to dbus.  Fixed.

(This async thing might still be a bad idea, but...)
Comment 2 Enrico Tröger editbugs 2009-06-06 15:17:07 CEST
Yo, seems fixed.

I still get warnings at session startup like
(xfdesktop:3461): xfconf-WARNING **: Initial query for property "/backdrop/screen0/xinerama-stretch" failed: Property "/backdrop/screen0/xinerama-stretch" does not exist on channel "xfce4-desktop"


but it seems only for properties which were not explicitly.
Comment 3 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2009-06-07 00:51:54 CEST
Yeah, no big deal.  I should probably disable that messagefor non --enable-checks builds like the other warnings that generate those messages.
