Hi, Thankyou for the link. It helped me for my need. But I have some doubt regarding this. Instead of creating another file name gconf-defaults, I added the following lines in the postinst script under the debian folder,
gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme BossBlue gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme gnome gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/general/theme BossBlue But the problem is, when I excuted the above commands at the shell prompt, it worked fine, but next time when I tried with another theme name, then it started displaying the error message like, Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/apps/metacity/general/theme' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path This may be because I dint add any option like --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory but, this will update the default gnome values in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory file but not in the /root/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/. Then will it be helpful if I change only in the gconf.xml.manadatory file. And for this the command that I would use will be something like gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type string --set /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme gnomegtk_theme BossBlue So, 1) Am I following the correct procedure? 2) If I edit the /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory file alone, then will it be helpful?
