Hi.

I’m wondering why was padding 10 added to default gnome-panel
configuration? My panel at 1280x1024 with bunch of elements has now
difficulties to fit them all. And at smaller resolutions, for example,
at netbooks that wouldn’t be useful at all.


The padding was added because it makes things look less crammed
together.

Wow. FWIW, I think it sucks. In any case padding 10 is far too large as
I can fit an icon in between every other icon -not to mention stuff not
fitting in the screen's width.

I didn't know our panel would shrink down to a height of 10. But be that
as it may, to make a system-wide gconf setting change, do

gconftool-2 --direct \
    --config-source =xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system \
    --type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel/padding 0


Returning to a slightly earlier question in a different thread, which has been unanswered for like... 30 seconds or so ;-)

Is there a utility that can show me what kind of settings are available, and optionally configurable? Note I would not like to delegate to someone to run sabayon every release.

I would rather manage a default and/or mandatory configuration file of which I presume one is "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system", but what is the other?
