Hello there. I'm not sure that it is a bug. This happens when guake schemas file is not correctly installed.

[pingou]

hm, something weird must have happened then since the schema is installed directly via the RPM.

I am wondering if there is not something going wrong sometime with the way it is done. This only happens the first time AFAIK.

I'll close the bug for the moment, to me it is a gconf fedora related issue.

I'll see what can be done if I get more of these bugs
