It looks indeed like a duplicate of #25228, sorry for not properly checking. I did the change as you asked, but it didn't help. I also tried the workaround mentionned in the other bug: (defalias 'dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event 'ignore) and this one made it work (I removed your line). Just to provide complete information, as it seems the problem is related to Gconf and Gnome stuff, I am using Xfce4 for my X11 environment. Thanks, François
