From googling around I added to my flatpak manifest this:<br /> <br /> finish-args:<br /> - --filesystem=xdg-run/dconf<br /> - --filesystem=host:ro<br /> - --env=DCONF_USER_CONFIG_DIR=.config/dconf<br /> <br /> but it does not seem to work at all. Running "gsettings set" in the flatpak sandbox does not affect the host GSettings, only settings inside the flatpak.<br /> <br /> Is there something I am missing? Do I need to expose some other endpoint? Clearly what I am trying to do is possible, since "dconf-editor" has been packaged as a flatpak! But I don't see anything enlightening in the manifest of dconf-editor's flatpak.<br /> <br /> All the best,<br /> Eric</blockquote> </div> </body> </html>
