GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 97335
should be a way to edit system-wide defaults
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 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
