When you use the gconf daemon to see the data you always see all keys because it has some paths to look at (just look at /etc/gconf/2/path to know the order). If you want to see if you have an specific key instead of a default one, you must look it directly at $HOME/gconf/ > > > > It is set whenever gnome-session boots for the first time, so the > > > gconf.defaults stuff won't work. > > > > It's not here and I'm using the standard Debian packages... > > weird It's just you were looking at it wrongly. > > > > *IF* he has done that, with the current system (update-alternatives) > > > that won't change.

I'd like to have > a standard way to deal with this for GNOME and KDE. > GNOME uses its own configuration system, just like KDE, if they are not sharing those settings, why should you do it? In a perfect world both desktops should share all settings so I will have the same preferences when I work with GNOME or KDE. That change should be done upstream and until we get shared configurations you will have two different ways (or three if you count XFCE or four if you add any other desktop). I think it's not your work to handle all possible desktops, the desktops should use your debian-base package as they think they should. > One possible solution for not depending on gconf/gnome-session is > simply adding a file as conffile to the correct directory, as jdub > pointed out to me on IRC, but I still want to clear the 'it's already > there' question before switching to this method. > > > > > That's respecting users' freedom of choice. > > > > > > It's being done right now. > > > > Of course, the alternatives system gives you the same feature, but what > > happens if tomorrow gnome-session changes the .png file location?
