I did the following: That is GNOME's gconf hierarchy which is a little bit like microsoft's registry in windows. only thing is that gconf is less obfuscated. gconftool-2 -R /apps/metacity/general for example should print something gconftool-2 -g /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources tells you the current value gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources --type=boolean true changes the value (--type=something is important, gconftool-2 will bitch if missing, does it exists keys which can have different types ?) suggestion: switch off metacity's hunger with : gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources --type=boolean true view the difference in metacity's behaviour when dragging a window re-enable the hunger with gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources --type=boolean false Read the man-page about gconftool-2. The different settings applets changes applications behaviour/or look/or whatever thru gconf and its API which is one reason why for example theme changes is instant. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
