2.1.2. Default Configuration

The

default

panel

configuration

is

specified

in

/etc/gconf/schemas/panel default setup.entries

.

When

the

panel is installed, the default configuration is loaded into the Defaults Source using the

gconftool 2

"

  load

" argument:

# gconftool 2 \

  config source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \

  direct   load /etc/gconf/schemas/panel default setup.entries

This command loads the default configuration into the

/apps/panel/default_setup

GConf di 

rectory.

2.1.3. Modifying the Default Configuration

Modifying the default panel configuration can be a difficult task. Unfortunately, it is also one of the

more common tasks for administrators wishing to deploy a modified desktop environment configura 

tion.
