</div>but I have learned to LIKE gnome! along with a few KDE apps:) I run gnome, my<br>
wife runs KDE ( DEBIAN). I'm afraid to upgrade to KDE4 because I'm not<br>
familiar with it, and I know it would freak her out!<br>
<br>
wait, what? what's gconf? what do you DO with it?<br>
<br>
this reminds me of the registry:<br>
$ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome<br></blockquote><div>yeah. gconf/registry <br>gnome _used_ to use a conf file in the .gnome dir for each desktop applet and the desktop env in general. But _someone_ <rolls eyes> thought a single chain of xml would be better. <br>
<br>at least it's not a proprietary binary format.....<br><br>but this is my background setting:<br><br><gconf><br> <entry name="primary_color" mtime="1273516399" type="string"><br>
<stringvalue>#FFFFFF</stringvalue><br> </entry><br> <entry name="secondary_color" mtime="1273516399" type="string"><br> <stringvalue>#000000</stringvalue><br>

<br>in ancient days gone by it was:<br><br>background_image = ~/Images/spiral_galaxy.jpg<br>centered = yes<br>color1 = "#FFFFFF"<br>color2 = "#000000"<br>shading = solid<br><br><br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
