Package: sensors-applet
Version: 1.7.10+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

I'm trying to set the defaults for the applet system-wide using the 
gconf defaults mechanism (I've tried modifying files under 
/usr/share/gconf/defaults and running update-gconf-defaults as well as 
modifying /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml).  The defaults 
appear to be picked up (the keys under 
/apps/panel/default_setup/applets/sensors_applet/prefs have the expected 
values once I stop gconfd, wipeout the user .gconf* dirs, and restart 
gdm; to make sure gconf doesn't write old values someplace thus ignoring 
the new ones), but when the new sensors_applet_screen0 is created on 
login, the high_values have the default <int> [60000,60000,60000] 
settings.  In the above mentioned key they are 64000,55000,64000, for 
this particular machine.

So far I can't figure out how to set (by script) system-wide defaults 
for the sensors-applet (so that all users have the same defaults, 
without having the manual set the temperature ranges in their copy of 
applet in their panel).  I don't want to resort to a cron job or 
something like that.

I'm trying to do this so that when I send I machines I can give users 
configured sensors-applets that won't go away if they delete the applet 
and then add it back (it's not a company thing; I have no business 
forcing them to keep the applet if they don't want it, and/or change 
their minds), or that won't be available correctly to newly created 
users.
