Hallo list. I am new here and this is my first message. So I hope, You can help me.
I have created a customized gnome-panel layout for our desktop (only one bottom_panel ...). Detailed Information can be found in the attachment. This is an package with the needed files to install. What i have done is created a new entries-file with the panel-layout and a short script in the postinst and prerm:
SCHEMA_LOCATION="/usr/share/gconf/schemas"
GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=`gconftool-2 --get-default-source`
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=${GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE} --unload
${SCHEMA_LOCATION}/panel-default-setup.entries
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=${GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE} --load
${SCHEMA_LOCATION}/jpk-panel-default-setup.entries
The package-installation is fine. But the users can't see any changes on the desktop. I tried a lot of things and found out that i have to unset all user-settings of the panel. So i called the following commands in postinst and prerm an everything was fine:
echo -n "Resetting panel configuration for user "
for user in `ls /home`;
do
[ ! -d /home/${user}/.gconf ] && continue
echo -n "${user} "
GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE="xml:readwrite:/home/${user}/.gconf"
GCONF_RESULT=`HOME=/root \
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=${GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE} \
--recursive-unset /apps/panel 2>&1`
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
echo "Error: ${GCONF_RESULT}"
fi
done
echo "done."
This isn't the best method because every user setting will be destroyed. When a user made some changes to our panel layout and installs a new version of our package everything of his configuration is lost or resetted to our defaults. My question: How can i solve the problem of unsetting the user panel configuration? Is it possible to install/update own panel layouts without unsetting the user gconf configuration? For example: A user added to our panel a new object (applet). We made a new panel-package with 2 additional objects. The user updates our panel-package and should see his and our additional buttons. Thank for for responses. roe -- René Oelke Network & System Administrator JPK Instruments AG Bouchéstr. 12 12435 Berlin, Germany Tel: +49 30 5331 12070 Fax: +49 30 5331 22555
