Hi.
Thanks for your help. I think I understand it now.
So the file etc/skel/.gconf/xxx after setting it up would be an
'initial' gconf 'database' where the only entries would be the ones I
set.
Thanks again
Liam

I had a similar issue, I wanted to add a system setting and
/etc/skel/ seemed the way, but
in my case, and using live-installer to install to disk, that
/etc/skel setting would not
be included in the files of an existing installed user if $HOME
partition was not formated
upon install. That is, I had my files in a not formated $HOME
partition and the /etc/skel/
file was not added to $HOME upon install because $HOME existed when
the $USER was created,
so skel files were not added to $USER $HOME files.
So, the following solution is not live specific but system specific
that applied to both
live $USER and system wide to work with install even if the user
$HOME was not (re)created.
I post it here as an alternative to skel solution.
What I did to get both live and system wide gconf setting was, in a
hook:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --set -t bool
/apps/gksu/sudo-mode true
This way the setting is system wide and independent from the user
creation.
Hope it helps.
