Bug Description

Binary package hint: gconf-editor

In gconf-editor, I was looking for Kunming, which was in a key in /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/cities
But the search failed to find it, despite clicking both search key names and search key values.

Pedro, I cannot find the original bug. If it is known, this bug should be marked as duplicate of it,
not simply "Invalid". Until someone finds the original, marking this report as "New again"..

Using the gnome panel clock applet, add a city. The city will, I guess, be added to the gconf file, as a value in the key name /apps/panel/applets/clock_screen0/prefs/cities. Then search for it in gconf-editor, choosing key names and values.

It may not find what you want (it will say: pattern not found).
