DESCRIPTION

12       GConf-Editor  is  a tool used for editing the GConf configuration data‐
13       base.  It might be useful when the  proper  configuration  utility  for
14       some software provides no way of changing some option.

USAGE

17       The  main  window  consists  of  a tree showing the GConf configuration
18       database hierarchy, a list of the keys available, and documentation for
19       the selected key.
20
21       Key values can be changed by either changing them directly in the list,
22       or right clicking on them and selecting Edit key.  Changes take immedi‐
23       ate  effect in running programs.  New keys can be added by right click‐
24       ing in the list and selecting New key.
25
26       Bookmarks may be set for quick lookup of a key later.

NOTES

29       This tool allows you to  directly  edit  your  configuration  database.
30       This  is  not  the recommended way of setting desktop preferences.  Use
31       this tool at your own risk.
