[Bug 92963] battery_low_percentage popup and other issues (GConf problem?)

[Jason Spiro]

Public bug reported:

I have used Edgy for a few months.  These problems started a few weeks
ago, likely after a dist-upgrade.

First, the slow-keys (bounce-keys?) accessibility feature
enabled itself.  Then I disabled it.
Then other problems started.  For all users on my laptop:

- I get an error message at startup "GConf schema installer error,
battery_low_percentage cannot be zero".
- Most Gnome keyboard shortcuts stopped working, such as Alt-Tab.
- My bottom panel's Window List applet no longer has buttons for each running task.  I can't re-add these buttons either, though I added a tiny Window Selector applet which pops up a window menu, and that works fine.
- All root-needing apps on the Gnome menus seem to run gksu in su mode instead of sudo-mode.  This is useless, as I haven't set a password for my root user.
- Weird things have changed with the Gnome panel and transparency/color.

Here is the output of $ gconftool-2 --get /apps/gksu/sudo-mode

** (gconftool-2:9658): WARNING **: Owner of /tmp/orbit-j2 is not the
current user

No value set for `/apps/gksu/sudo-mode'

** Affects: gconf (Ubuntu)
