- GConf 2 for Debian
- ==================
-
- The default GConf sources accessed by the GConf daemon are the
- following, in order:
-
- * /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.
-
- * /var/lib/gconf/debian.mandatory/
- This directory contains mandatory settings provided by Debian, CDD or
- local packages. Mandatory settings are shipped in
- /usr/share/gconf/mandatory and set by update-gconf-defaults (see the
- documentation for defaults next).
-
- * ~/.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 should install their defaults in the
- /usr/share/gconf/defaults/ directory. The files in this directory
- can follow one of two formats, which is determined based on the naming
- pattern:
- - NN_package: simple key/value pairings
- - NN_package.entries: standard gconftool -R format xml dump
- NN should be 10 for Debian packages, 20 for CDD packages, and larger
- for site-specific packages.
-
- The contents of /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/ can be regenerated
- using the update-gconf-defaults command, which is done in the
- package's post-installation script.
-
- * /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
- since it improves write performance. If you want to use a merged tree
- on the home directory, you should run the following command:
- gconf-merge-tree ~/.gconf/
