I would imagine that means that you need to do that kind of changes from outside of GNOME, or in a state such that you know no gconf daemons are running. This may very well be a wrong interpretation. In any case, gconf-editor now allows you to edit mandatory and default preferences, and when it is run chances are gconfd -is- running. -- m -- Mariano Suárez-Alvarez <msuarezalvarez arnet com ar> http://www.gnome.org/~mariano
