It should be pointed out that for debian (and I think also ubuntu, which is what he is using) this is simply not true. The gnome defaults are shipped in /usr, not in /etc, and gconf actually uses multiple databases on debian which allows you to do exactly that: make your own changes without them being overwritten on subsequent upgrades. kr, Chipzz AKA Jan Van Buggenhout -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UNIX isn't dead - It just smells funny [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Baldric, you wouldn't recognize a subtle plan if it painted itself pur- ple and danced naked on a harpsicord singing 'subtle plans are here a- gain'." _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
