Found these. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/289640/how-to-create-a-default-system-wide-dconf-setting-starting-from-just-created-ad https://askubuntu.com/questions/1038184/how-to-lockdown-system-wide-settings-with-dconf /etc/ in those should be read /usr/local/etc/ on FreeBSD. And possibly defaults of each application are stored under /usr/local/share/ or under /usr/local/lib/. BTW, I'm basically using x11/mate, a fork from Gnome2. It doesn't sleep by default on AC powerline. (Old installation succeeding Gnome2 settings.
