Thanks Sven. Yes, you're right.
I have a couple of difficulties resolving what services, etc., are
started at login. I have used System -> Preferences -> Sessions to
identify the services and applications I want started. This includes
using xscreensaver (rather than Gnome-screensaver) and Conky.
However, each login, so gnome-screensaver is initiated and Conky isn't.
Whilst these aren't major issues, I wouldn't mind sorting them out, so I
was curious if there are textual configuration files that I can hack to
set this up.
I think gnome-screensaver is launched by gnome-settings-daemon. g-s-d is
based on plugins, the screensaver being one such plugin.
I think you can disable it by
setting /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/screensaver/active to false.
Where do I find /apps/gnome_settings/ ... to change the flag?
Also, how does one override (default?) applications that are started
when a removable media is loaded? I don't want to use Totem (but don't
want to uninstall it either) as my default media player for DVDs, but
despite changing this in Preferred Applications option, Totem is always
initiated when a DVD is inserted. Again, are there some textual
configuration files I can access to set my preferences directly to use
VLC, for example?
System → Preferences → File Management → Media tab
Thanks - this one seems now to be sorted.
Cheers
AG
