Hello All, I've been looking on the gnome website for docs on how to use gnome as an admin to set it up for multiple users. Although the Admin Guide for 2.6 has been fairly informational and useful for most of what I'm trying to do, I'm having a great deal of difficulty figuring out how to create a default set of panel applets and nautilus/mime types in 2.10.
One thing that is particularly bothersome, is that in 2.10 the gconf configuration isn't written out to disc immediately as it was in 2.8 - so I can't look at the files to see what changes without first logging out. I admit that if I spend some more time on it I can most likely figure it out on my own, but I would be terribly greatful if someone could give me an example of: 1) Adding minicommander (or any applet) to the panel as a mandatory setting -- should be something like this, but the setup has changed gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel/profiles/default > my-panel-setup.entries edit some of the user-spefic info in the created file gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --load my-panel-setup.entries 2) Adding wine as the default program with which to open files of the nautilus mime/type of application/x-ms-dos-executable (exe). -- I'm stumped on this one. I will be immediately making this information available on gentoo-wiki.org where I'm currently writing a guide on how to setup a desktop system for an end-user as would be needed in an educational/corporate setting. IMHO, I think that for Linux to really take off, it's more important to keep an admin guide current then a user guide current, because, let's be honest, users don't read up on this stuff anyway (9 times out of 10) - and since windows doesn't have anything as easy to use as gconf for user interface configuration (as far as I'm aware), it would really gives Linux a cutting edge, if nowhere else, in the high school where I work (kinda toying around with some thin-clients right now). I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks. -- 8^) Laterz- ~Alvin http://CoolAJ86.Havenite.net --- Luke Skywalker: Your overconfidence is your weakness.
