gconf2 stores all config info in a central DB; the old/deprecated gconf1 stored them in files. I am not sure why exactly gconf2 is centralized; but I do beleive its a true network daemon, so that in principle, you could get the gconf2 settings from other machines ... maybe. I really don't understand how that's supposed to work. Its a good question for one of the desktop lists. (once again, I wish I could have the same desktop on all of the various computers I work on ... but I can't, at least not easily, not without nfs mounts and other hacks.) --linas -- pub 1024D/01045933 2001-02-01 Linas Vepstas (Labas!) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 8305 2521 6000 0B5E 8984 3F54 64A9 9A82 0104 5933 _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
