gconf-editor is a very good utility where one can change behavior or setting
or preference of any application using click. today I discovered its command
line version --
gconftool-2
using this you can set behavior to preference of any application in command
line or in shell script.
for example , just after installation of fedora , i use to open Nautilus
(the file browser) and open its preference to set it "always open in browser
mode" and 'single click to double click' behavior. Same with gedit and other
tool to make setting.
But same thing you can perform with gconftool-2 like this..


gconftool-2 --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser" --type
bool TRUE
gconftool-2 --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/click_policy" --type string
"single"

do not use sudo,, or su ,, you are making setting for you and not for root.

you can bundle up such command to make your own theme which you can install
from shell. (actually i got this idea form here -
http://ubuntu.online02.com/files/XpGnome.zip - )

The format is very simple

gconftool-2 --set KEY_NAME --type TYPE VALUE

you need to browse in gconf-editor to know what is key name for a particular
setting.
