Description Robert McQueen 2002-10-31 15:42:53 UTC
I'm setting up a kinda 'Windows Terminal Services'
system using inetd running Xvnc querying gdm to
get a G2 session. I would like to change the
default background colour so that it's not
gradiented, to save network traffic. I found
/etc/gconf/default/ but it seems hard to edit (if
somewhat undocumented too). Can I just edit the
.xml files directly? Is there a tool I can use for
these? Should gconf-editor not provide some kind
of "root mode" where you can edit defaults instead
of having to poke around at these XML files (all
on one line) with a text editor?

Maybe it should allow the user to choose the source she wants to work on, as
gconftool does (--config-source). Write access would be root-only, I supose.

This is done in current CVS
