question about schema files and defaults

[Thomas Vander Stichele <thomas apestaart org>]

Hi,

I have some code to handle profiles using GConf.  I have a schema file
that has templates for each of the possible keys in a profile.  This
gets installed into GConf, just like gnome-terminal profiles.

After that, I also want to provide a few sane default profiles.  I could
do this through the same schema file, or a second schema file.  Which is
preferred ? (Bear in mind, these profiles are of course changeable or
even deletable by the user).

On each install of the source tarball, or upgrade of the package, would
this mean that the schema file containing those few default profiles be
installed again each time (ie, giving the user the impression that he
can't get rid of or customize the defaults) ? Or is there something that
prevents this (since I never saw this happen with gnome-terminal).

Thanks,
Thomas
