[Bug 757866] Re: gsettings uses the 'memory' GSettings backend / settings do not stick?!

[Sebastien Bacher]

right, it's not a bug, glib provides only a memory backend for testing
and hacking, you likely want to install dconf is you need a real backend
you can use, glib recommends it and applications depends on it

Title:
  gsettings uses the 'memory' GSettings backend / settings do not
  stick?!

Status in “glib2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Is it expected that "gsettings" will use the memory backend?
  From the extra message I do not think so, and it may be the reason why I cannot change this whitelist or the changes to the Unity starter are not being remembered through re-logins.

  % gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
  GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
