Using gconftool-2 tool to add icons on menu panel for the users

[Qihua Wang <qihua wang alcatel com>]

I try to using gconftool-2 to add extra icons on the top menu panel.

As a super user, I did the following.

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --owner=panel --type string --set 
/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/applets/00000002/object_type bonobo-applet

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --owner=panel --type string --set 
/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/applets/00000002/panel_id 00000002

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --owner=panel --type int --set 
/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/applets/00000002/position 50

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --owner=panel --type string --set 
/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/applets/00000002/bonobo_iid OAFIID:GNOME_TasklistApplet

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --owner=panel --type bool --set 
/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/applets/00000002/panel_right_stick false

It created the %gconf.xml under /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/panel/default_profiles/medium/applets/00000002
directory.

But I didn't see the icon on the panel.

I figured out that the gconftool-2 did not create the schema reference file under the $HOME directory.

Does anyone know how to using the gconftool-2 to have schema reference %gconf.xml file created?

I am using Gnome2.0 version and gconftool-2 version 2.1.0.


Thanks for your help.
