Since it sounds like people are mucking around with editing their

Hi Brian. If it we
I'd just like to say that Shaun's description is right on the mark. I
couldn't have summarized the state of Gconf and Sabayon so well.

Hi Daniel,
I'm not sure it is exactly what you are looking for, but maybe these 3

I'd like to add an icon to the panel so that when a new user is created
he sees the new icon. Sounds simple, no?
Thank you for trying thou

Gconf seems like an incredibly complicated way of adding an icon. And it

I see it. I also see /apps/panel/default_setup/objects. But I don't see

If you will start gconf-editor as a root, you are able to change all
