Thanks for the quick reply :-) Rather than dumping files in /etc/skel, you could just take advantage of the fact that GConf has a built-in mechanism for setting default and mandatory settings for all users. Check out the section on GConf in the admin guide: http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/gconf-0.html.en And here's how to work with default and mandatory settings using the Configuration Editor: http://library.gnome.org/users/gconf-editor/stable/defaults-mandatory.html.en If you're doing a lot of customizations, you might want to check out Sabayon: http://www.gnome.org/projects/sabayon/ -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
