default and mandatory settings

[Ron Salyers <rsalyers cse ohio-state edu>]

I'm new to gnome so forgive me if these are stupid questions.  I'm just 
trying to make sure I understand how it works.

Theoretically if I copied everything in the 
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults directory into the 
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory directory, suddenly all of my default 
settings would become mandatory.  Correct?  Not that I would do this. 
I'm just verifying that this is the type of content this directory 
should have.  It's empty by default, so I can't say for sure.

Also, if login as a test user, make changes to preferences, then copy 
the contents of the test user's .gonf directory to the 
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults directory, the changes I made to the test 
user's preference would be my default settings for other users?  In this 
case will I have to worry about there being any references to my test 
username in any of the config files?

Thanks,

Ron
