[pygtk] GConf ChangetSet and lists

[Peter Moberg]

Yes, I'm aware that it is possible to do it without using a ChangeSet. But
it should be possible to use ChangeSet as well.

As stated in the manual:
"In the future, GConf may also have optimizations so that changing a group
of values with GConfChangeSet<http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gconf/=
gconf-gconf-changeset.html#GConfChangeSet>is
faster than calling
gconf_engine_set()<http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gconf/gconf-gconf=
.html#gconf-engine-set>for
each value. In the future,
GConfChangeSet<http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gconf/gconf-gconf-cha=
ngeset.html#GConfChangeSet>may
also represent an atomic transaction, where all or none of the values
are set; however, for now the operation is *not* atomic."

And that sounds like a good thing :) (even though it's not implemented yet).
And that's why I've chosen to use an ChangeSet for my project (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopPanelLookAndFeel). It works good for all
values, except lists. Might this be a bug in the gconf module? The code that
I wrote, should it have worked?

Best Regards
