For the record, gconf2 is the "database" where the desktop would store it's settings in the GNOME 2 era. GNOME 3 been using glib schemas for that since before 3.0, I think, but I could be wrong. Or at least most parts. Some apps can convert there gconf settings to the new glib schema stuff, but backwards is not possible. -Koop > > Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired > E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com <mailto:rkoberman@gmail.com> > PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 > > On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 2:39 PM, Koop Mast <kwm@rainbow-runner.nl > <mailto:kwm@rainbow-runner.nl>> wrote: > > On 29-7-2015 23:16, Kevin Oberman wrote: > > On my Mint Linux system I make periodic use of the > mate-conf-editor to > > adjust settings someone felt were not ones the typical user > would want to > > adjust.
