I have been having problems with nouveau/nvidia under gnome3 on my desktop. So not to waste anymore time I installed F15 LXDE. I rather like it, reminds me of my blackbox/fluxbox days. However some LXDE apps are a bit raw compared to their gnome counterparts, i.e. leafpad/gedit, ePDF/evince. So I installed gedit and evince. I use gedit regularly, not as an editor (I use vim) but as a wordprocessor in place of the unwieldy OO/LO Writer. The problem with gedit/evince under LXDE is that they do not retain configuration settings and I see the following message: $ gedit GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications. After installation in LXDE there is a folder ~/.config/gedit with 3 files in it: accels, gedit-page-setup & gedit-print-settings. I suspect that I can fix the above problem by editing either 'accels' or 'gedit-page-setup'. 'accels' is rather complicated but 'gedit-page-setup' seems more accessible: [Page Setup] PPDName=Letter DisplayName=US Letter Width=215.89999389648438 Height=279.39999389648438 MarginTop=6.3499999999999996 MarginBottom=14.224 MarginLeft=6.3499999999999996 MarginRight=6.3499999999999996 Orientation=portrait It is not quite clear to me if these lines define the 'size' of gedit (i.e. something like --geometry=80x40) or the 'position' of gedit on the screen or both. And I do not see anything to change the font and its size. As the documentation on LXDE is rather sparse I don't know where to get basic information before experimenting on my own. Can anybody help or should I post to the Fedora LXDE list or a LXDE forum?
