Hi Yall,
Using Gnome 2.4 on Redhat Fedora Core 1, I'd like to create several gnome-terminal profiles directly. I've updated the master list of profiles in
~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/global/%gconf.xml
and then created a new directory for each new profile under
~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles
I copied the %gconf.xml file from the Default profile to each new profile and then made changes in the new.
The changes didn't seem to take effect so I logged out and then back in. Now, Terminal->Profiles shows a longer list but all the new ones are named <not named>. Edit->Profiles is the same.
1) When does Gnome and gnome-terminal look at the profile files?
2) In most new profiles, the file %gconf.xml is empty while the new profile was moved to %gconf.xml.bak. Why?
3) I've editing the profiles to break long lines into ones that end after a tag. In some cases, I'll add spaces in front of a line to give it some visible structure. Is the part of Gnome or gnome-terminal that reads these xml files workiing right? They should ignore whitespace and newlines. If not, this could be part of the problem.
This sort of information is probably in a manual. However, www.gnome.org doesn't seem to have any documentation. The "Users" button on their home page doesn't work. Is there a manual somewhere that goes into this sort of detail?
Thanks in advance for any advice. Kent - - - Kent Eschenberg eschenbe@xxxxxxx (412)268-6829 Scientific Visualization Specialist Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
