Setting Panel and Panel Object Preferences
The panel-default-setup.entries file specifies the following details of the panels in the
GNOME Desktop:
• Number of panels
• Types of the panels
• Properties of the panels
• Contents of the panels
The configuration of individual panels and of panel objects is a complex task. You must
first understand the structure of the panel-default-setup.entries file. For more information,
see Section "Specifying Individual Panels and Panel Objects"
To set preferences for individual panels and panel objects, you must set the values of
many preferences in a configuration source. The easiest way to do this is to use the
gconftool-2 command with the --dump and --load options. For more information,
see Section "Setting Preferences for Individual Panels and Panel Objects"
Specifying Individual Panels and Panel Objects
The panel-default-setup.entries file contains sections that specify panels
and panel contents, and it specifies values for schema keys. This file is located in the
/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/schemas directory.
The panel-default-setup.entries file is structured as follows:
1. Keys that specify the general structure of panels, applets, and other panel objects
in the GNOME Desktop.
The following keys specify the number of panels, panel objects, and applets that
appear in the GNOME Desktop:
• /apps/panel/default_setup/general/toplevel_id_list
• /apps/panel/default_setup/general/object_id_list
• /apps/panel/default_setup/general/applet_id_list
