Konfigurasi detail

Configuration Sources [2]

GConf looks for each value in a series of storage locations called configuration sources. These are specified in a file called /etc/gconf/<version>/path. Each configuration source has a backend that knows how to read it - for now, this is always the "xml" backend, which stores data in XML files.

By default, GConf comes configured as follows:

  xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory
  include "$(HOME)/.gconf.path"
  xml:readwrite:$(HOME)/.gconf
  xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults

Skema [2]

Keys normally have simple values such as integers, strings, or lists of those. However, a special kind of value called a schema can also be stored in GConf.

A schema is a bundle of metainformation describing a configuration setting. This metainformation includes the type of value, short documentation on the setting, and the factory default for that value. Schemas are conventionally stored in the database under the /schemas toplevel directory.

Contoh:

$ gconftool-2 --get /schemas/apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces
   Type: int
   List Type: *invalid*
   Car Type: *invalid*
   Cdr Type: *invalid*
   Default Value: 4
   Owner: metacity
   Short Desc: Number of workspaces
   Long Desc: 
             Number of workspaces. Must be more than zero, and 
             has a fixed maximum (to prevent accidentally destroying 
             your desktop by asking for 34 million workspaces).

Contoh pemakaian

[3] string example: The following command sets a Mandatory Background Image:

gconftool-2 --direct \
--config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
--type string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/wallpapers/default-1600x1200.jpg

bool example: The following command sets the "Include a delete command" within Nautilus the default behaviour:

--type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete True

int example: The following command set the number of workspaces to 4 by default (SLED defaults to 1 unless you are running Xgl).

gconftool-2 --direct \
--config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
--type int --set /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 4

list example: The List type took me a while to get right, the following will change the Main Menu default Favorite Applications to something more suitable for an office.

gconftool-2 --direct \
--config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
--type list --list-type=string --set /desktop/gnome/applications/main-menu/file-area/user_specified_apps \
