That's a pity, since I find the default "drip" sound extremely unpleasant. In more detail: To configure the alert sound, I first open GNOME Settings by clicking on the gear icon in the pull-down menu on the right side of GNOME Shell's top bar. From there, I navigate to the "Sound" section and scroll to the bottom of that section, where I'm given a choice of 4 options for the "Alert Sound". For as long as I can remember, and even today, this pane *does* remember my preferred Alert Sound (sonar), and correctly highlights it as my selected choice. However, the default "drip" sound is the one that is actually used by applications, e.g. by GNOME Terminal and Emacs. Note that even before the recent staging merge, periodically (maybe once a week or so), I would log in and find that the dreaded "drip" sound was being used as my alert sound. Each time, I was able to fix it by going back to the Sound section of GNOME Settings, and clicking again on my preferred alert sound (although it was already selected as my configured alert sound). Now, since the recent staging merge, that no longer works. If anyone can suggest a way to successfully change my alert sound, I would be grateful.

That can't be a new idea ;) (Maybe it's hard in the context of something signed that runs privileged to do updates before rebooting to grub? ) Also, is there a standard policy somewhere for preserving/migrating content state when installing a replacement storage box for the content? If it is too much work to write migration code when storage internals or apis change, couldn't it just be policy to mark the old box as box.old_NNN instead of deleting/overwiting it, and emit (and log) a simple hint?

Reverting that update does seem to have fixed the problem. I've been running my Guix system with dconf-0.34 since you made this suggestion last December, and the problem where I'm *unable* to change my GNOME alert sound has never happened since. (It still occasionally resets to the default "drip" alert sound, as I noted in my original report, but at least I can change it back easily). I will soon switch back to dconf-0.36 to see if the problem returns.

Shortly after switching back to dconf-0.36, the problem has indeed returned. So, in summary, the problem has *never* happened to me with dconf-0.34, but happens quite frequently with dconf-0.36. Mark
