Large deployments shouldn't mess with the local users' configuration. Probably specialized backends for GSettings like an APOC or plain LDAP one would be a much better approach to manage large deployments. People messing with the users' configuration or the global system configuration in large systems is rather a symptom of the lack of proper tooling in that regard. > > -- > Shaun > > > _______________________________________________ > desktop-devel-list mailing list > desktop-devel-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list > -- Un saludo, Alberto Ruiz _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
