I trying to create a user and limit them to only one virtual workspace from a script but my results make me think I am not understanding something. In the script I use useradd to create the user with the default settings. Then I copied this file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="num_workspaces" mtime="1269905813" type="int" value="1"/> </entry> </gconf> to the new user's .gconf/apps/metacity/general/%gconf.xml file after making the necessary parent directories. Now, here is where it gets strange. If I leave the permissions set to 755 and the owner as root, when the new user logs in, the workspace_switcher applet shows just 1 workspace but if I correct the ownership of the file and directory to be owned by the new user, then the user gets the default 4 workspaces when logging in. When a user logs in, don't all the %gconf.xml directories get read? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Steve. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
