As discussed at UDS Oakland, the Desktop Team is moving many of its custom settings (gsettings overrides) to a separate package, ubuntu-default-settings. This should reduce our diff with Debian GNOME packages, and it should make it easier for derivatives to ship the GNOME defaults without needing to override an override. I wanted to make sure the other flavors were aware of this, since settings will be reverting back to the GNOME defaults unless overriden. For instance, Ubuntu Studio uses Totem so they may wish to copy Ubuntu's active-plugins (ie. default enabled plugins) setting or customize it for their needs. They'll probably want the gnome-settings-daemon overrides too. Since Edubuntu is a superset of ubuntu-desktop, they won't be affected. The current list of Ubuntu overrides is at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+junk/ubuntu-default-settings/view/head:/debian/ubuntu-default-settings.gsettings-override Also, it's possible to override schemas that aren't installed. As an example, we are overriding Epiphany's default search provider string to include "client=Ubuntu" even though Epiphany is not installed by default in Ubuntu. Tracking bug is http://pad.lv/1039792 I don't know if this needs a FFe since the process started before Feature Freeze but admittedly it didn't make it very far along (stuck in the new queue).
