So they should be > stored in GConf. Not all of them : - some printers accept extensions (memory, supplementary trays, duplexing unit...) that are not detectable and must be specified manually by the admin somewhere - mouse : physical setup (wheel...) will almost always be shared among users (even if modern devices make this less a problem than before) - keyboard : again different users may use different layouts but some characteristics like key number are shared Sure you can have every user redefine every single parameter - but even if users with different tastes do happen very frequently, the vast majority of cases will be users sharing the same customisations (because of the site/corporate policy, or there is only one computer-addict in the family, etc). This is BTW one of GConf biggest weaknesses right now - it's easy to change things on a per-user basis, but much less so on a per-system (or per-group) one, unless you want to dig into GConf internals and fight your distribution idea of what the defaults should be. > > - Hard disks: where to mount > > How do you configure this now?
