In gkeyfile.c, g_key_file_to_data() unconditionally appends a newline between groups (the comment is simply "separate groups by at least an empty line"). The resulting string is, therefore, different from the original contents of the file, by 1 newline character per group. If one writes back the contents of this string to the original file, that file then grows. I've read the bug at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344868 which explains why this was done. However, the comment: "Keyfiles written by g_key_file_to_data are a bit hard to read since the groups aren't separated by empty lines." is only valid for key files that have the lack of newlines anyway. In my view, the exact contents of the original file should be maintained when calling g_key_file_to_data. If anyone agrees, I have a patch to remove the extra newlines, and to test that g_key_file_to_data leaves that data unchanged. If so, I'll reopen the bug and add all this. - Bobby ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for earth-friendly autos?
