What did you change? I just went through all of dconf-editor listed
items and did not recognize anything to change that would turn on
settings/preferences in gedit
Sorry for the late reply. I'm sure you probably already have it
figured, this is what i did.
I logged into my Fedora desktop as regular
user; opened a Terminal; logged in as root using su -; typed
dconf-editor- on dconf-editor's left pane, I just followed
org -> gnome-> settings-daemon-> plugins -> xsettings submenu, then
on dconf-editor's right window - I added {'Gtk/ShellsShowsAppMenu':
<0>}
next to overrides entry and that restored preferences within gedit,etc.
