==================
The default GConf sources accessed by the GConf daemon are the
following, in order:
* /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory/
Mandatory settings set by the administrator. You can edit them with
gconf-editor, as root, to override any user settings.
* /var/lib/gconf/debian.mandatory/
This directory contains mandatory settings provided by Debian, CDD or
local packages. Mandatory settings are shipped in
/usr/share/gconf/mandatory and set by update-gconf-defaults (see the
documentation for defaults next).
* ~/.gconf/
The user's settings.
* /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/
Default settings set by the administrator. Edit them as root with
gconf-editor.
* /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/
This directory contains some defaults provided by Debian, CDD or local
packages. Packages should install their defaults in the
/usr/share/gconf/defaults/ directory. The files in this directory
can follow one of two formats, which is determined based on the naming
pattern:
- NN_package: simple key/value pairings
- NN_package.entries: standard gconftool -R format xml dump
NN should be 10 for Debian packages, 20 for CDD packages, and larger
for site-specific packages.
The contents of /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/ can be regenerated
using the update-gconf-defaults command, which is done in the
package's post-installation script.
* /var/lib/gconf/defaults/
This directory contains the defaults computed from the upstream
schemas that lie in /usr/share/gconf/schemas. This is done by the
gconf-schemas script in the package's post-installation script.
All system directories use a %gconf-tree.xml file containing the whole
structure, for performance reasons. The upgrade from the previous
situation (tree of %gconf.xml files) is done in gconf2 2.12.1-5.
By default, the home directory structure is created as a tree layout
since it improves write performance. If you want to use a merged tree
on the home directory, you should run the following command:
gconf-merge-tree ~/.gconf/
