That's true _only_ for that subset of keys that you have changed. *Hardly anyone* will change _all_ keys. *Most users* probably won't ever change /apps/panel/options/splash_image. So if you change the default, it will affect *all* but those few that have already chosen a custom Splash image. What's wrong about that? I'd say it's the best way I can imagine. If someone has already deliberately chosen a custom splash image, s/he is probably happy with it and nothing else should be imposed on them. All others get a funky new Debian splash. That's respecting users' freedom of choice. Just my 2 �-cent Thanks, Johannes -- ~/.signature under construction
