Ah, I misread the latter portion of your comment. gconf-schemas it is,
then.

[Bug 809918] Re: /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas ignored in favor of /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas

2011-07-13 Thread Mike Mol
I'll look at the gconf docs and get things working the 'proper' way for
an individual user with user-supplied settings, but I dispute that there
isn't a bug here; settings under /etc should override settings in
/usr/share.

Even if the .schemas file is designed for configuring defaults settings.
/etc/gdm/gdm.schemas appears to be intended to represent system-local
defaults (as opposed to package defaults), and that file should either
be respected or removed, not ignored.

Do I need to re-file to get that addressed?

thank you for your bug report but your comments indicates you are simply
misunderstanding gconf, it's not a bug, the .schemas are templates which
are used to register values in the gconf database they are not read by
anything at run time. you can use the gconf-schemas utility to register
a schemas but usually you want to modify values in the database using
gconf-editor rather
