But I don' think things are quite as bleak, and all these tools have their own mission: gconftool-2 / gconf-editor are obsolescent, and will fall by the wayside when the last things are ported away from GConf The dconf commandline tool is very low-level and you should just use the gsettings tool. dconf-editor is the gsettings equivalent of gconf-editor, a 'generic' graphical frontend for all settings. gnome-tweak-tool is a non-generic graphical frontend to a wider set of options than what is exposed in the control-center. It should be the first stop for anybody who feels the itch to 'tweak' his desktop. gnome-session-properties is obsolescent, a leftover from the gnome 2.x control-center. The autostart functionality will eventually be integrated somewhere in gnome-shell or the control-center. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
