No, a script that will add default settings although the correct change should be change the defaults schema settings (It has no sense add our .schema file if there are already ones to change those settings). You should think on it this way: The .schemas settings are the available configuration keys for GNOME settings with defaults as the package maintainer wants. The /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults directory is for system administrators that wants default settings for their users.

With the gconf.xml.default settings that setting will not be overridden, of course the correct way to do it (IMHO) is that the gnome-session's .scheme file should be modified to have the Debian defaults, that way the system administrator could rollback his/her changes to Debian defaults. > > Johannes > -- > ~/.signature under construction Cheers. -- Carlos Perelló Marín Debian GNU/Linux Sid (PowerPC) Linux Registered User #121232 mailto:carlos@pemas.net || mailto:carlos@gnome.org http://carlos.pemas.net Valencia - Spain
