The configure options can be seen in my original bug report.
It turns out that I must have done something stupid when I claimed that
HAVE_GSETTINGS and HAVE_GCONF were defined. I can no longer reproduce
that, so Glenn is right. At this point I don't know whether or not
there is an emacs bug here. I'm sorry for the confusion I caused.
So let's start from scratch. Can you give a detailed, step-by-step
procedure for reproducing the problem? I'd like to see if I can
reproduce it.
Ken
