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?
Thankyou
