- GConf 2 for Debian
- ==================
-
- The default GConf sources accessed by the GConf daemon are the following:
-
- * /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/
- Mandatory settings set by the administrator. You can edit them with
- gconf-editor, as root, to override any user settings.
-
- * ~/.gconf/
- The user's settings.
-
- * /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/
- Default settings set by the administrator. Edit them as root with
- gconf-editor.
-
- * /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/
- This directory contains some defaults provided by Debian, CDD or local
- packages. Packages can ship files of the form NNpackage, larger NN
- values meaning larger priorities, in /usr/share/gconf/defaults/,
- before launching update-gconf-defaults. Debian packages themselves use
- 01, CDD distributions are encouraged to use values larger than 10, and
- site-specific packages can use the largest values. The purpose is for
- CDD to overwrite Debian defaults, and for site-specific packages to
- overwrite all other defaults.
-
- * /var/lib/gconf/defaults/
- This directory contains the defaults computed from the upstream
- schemas that lie in /usr/share/gconf/schemas. This is done by the
- gconf-schemas script in the package's post-installation script.
-
- All system directories use a %gconf-tree.xml file containing the whole
- structure, for performance reasons. The upgrade from the previous
- situation (tree of %gconf.xml files) is done in gconf2 2.12.1-5.
-
- By default, the home directory structure is created as a tree layout. If
- you want to use a merged tree on the home directory, you should run the
- following command:
- gconf-merge-tree ~/.gconf/
