I'm attempting to add GConf support to my little app using the
instructions found at -
http://www.go-mono.com/monkeyguide/html/en/gnome/bindings/gconf/gconf.
html
But whenever I attempt to bring up the dialog box with the preference
bindings it crashes with:
Unhandled Exception: GLib.GException: Bad key or directory name:
"localhost": Must begin with a slash (/)
in <0x00090> GConf.Client:Get (string)
in <0x00050> GConf.PropertyEditors.PropertyEditor:Get ()
in <0x00057> GConf.PropertyEditors.PropertyEditor:Setup ()
Why does the default value have to start with a "/"? I'm confused.
I used...
env GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE="" gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule
GConfSchema.xml
gconfsharp-schemagen mWhitePage GConfSchema.xml > GConf.cs
... to create GConf.cs from ...

Summoning up the preference dialog with...
public class PreferencesWindow
{
[Widget] Dialog preferencesWindow;
public PreferencesWindow()
{
Glade.XML gxml = new Glade.XML (null, "gui.glade",
"preferencesWindow", null);
gxml.Autoconnect (this);
GConf.PropertyEditors.EditorShell shell =
new GConf.PropertyEditors.EditorShell(gxml);
shell.Add(mWhitePage.Settings.ServerName, "fieldServerName");
shell.Add(mWhitePage.Settings.ServerRootDN, "fieldServerRootDN");
shell.Add(mWhitePage.Settings.ServerBindDN, "fieldServerBindDN");
}
