editors/mlview && gconfd

Hi,

I have a problem with mlview: When you try to create a new document, an
error message pops up stating that you need to restart gconfd. Here is
the code where the error occurs (src/mlview-editors.c)

[...]

view_descriptor = mlview_editor_select_view_to_open ();

if (!view_descriptor
    || !view_descriptor->view_constructor) {
        mlview_utils_trace_info
        ("Unknown view type name: ") ;
        mlview_utils_trace_info (settings->general.default_editing_view_type) ;
        mlview_utils_trace_info ("This may be caused by a gconfd "
                                 "problem or a bad mlview default "
                                 "view type name gconf key\n"
                                 "First, try to killall gconfd and restart it\n"
                                 "If you still have the problem, send a mail to"
                                 "mlview-list at gnome.org to ask for help\n") ;
        return NULL ;
}

[...]

Killing gconfd indeed fixes the problem. My question is: did I do
something wrong with the GCONF_SCHEMA macro, or is there a possibilty to
make the port restart gconfd automatically, or something else to achieve
the same effect?

Cheers,
 Simon
