Welcome to the config wasteland created by the Gnome devs. Why have a gui when you can remove options or the entire gui and hide the good stuff in the darkest & deepest Gnome basement only to be seen when singing magical gconf incantations? :) I am not sure if there is any appreciation for pre-configured mass deployment of Gnome based desktops. Afaik there is no other way then to venture into gconf/dconf land. I have been trying to figure out how to make Gnome 3 on Fedora 15 less annoying and return some of the Gnome 2 goodness. Some of the config options only seem to show up in gconf while others only show up in dconf. It's a config hell probably only surpassed by Window's DLL hell. Some of the gnome-terminal color stuff I have been using for F14: # gnome-terminal: don't use theme colors gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -s -t bool /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/use_theme_colors false # gnome-terminal: set background color to black gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -s -t string /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/background_color "#000000000000" # gnome-terminal: set foreground color to white gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -s -t string /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/foreground_color "#FFFFFFFFFFFF" # gnome-terminal: unlimited scrollback gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -s -t bool /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/scrollback_unlimited true # gnome-terminal: disable F10 so you can quit mc gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -s -t bool /apps/gnome-terminal/global/use_menu_accelerators false Hope this helps. Good luck. We will need it :) Regards, Patrick
