linux (ec-eval.csail.mit.edu) running 9.4.5.
I confirmed (with 'gconftool-2 -g ') that they value was written
correctly and running strace on mozilla showed that it ran gconftool-2
to get that registry value, so I don't know why it wasn't used. Perhaps
it tried to read that setting from elsewhere later and overwrote the
gconftool output?
