Thx. That clarified a bit things in my mind.

Now, from what I could understand, trying to use gconftool, gcontool
--install-schema-file=mymodifiedschemafile, I think this can be used to
install new user-specific default configuration values, which will be
taken into account whenever a user resets his configuration, instead of
getting the system-wide default values.

Please can you confirm this ?

Now, about the way one can set system-wide default values for
configuration elements, is it done using gconftool ? Or by storing shema
files in specific place ?

Thanks in advance.
