Package: gconf2-common
Version: 2.22.0-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
update-gconf-defaults is very useful for local sysadmins (allowing us to
drop simple files in /usr/share/gconf/defaults in order to customise the
default behaviour of desktops). Even more useful would be the ability
to use it for setting mandatory options in the same way instead of
writing the XML by hand. Attached is a patch to the gconf source
package to allow this.
Obviously this isn't for use by packages in the archive, but it
certainly makes life easier for local sysadmins.
Cheers,
Mark
