_gnome_background.schemas schema definition file.
Setting Splash Image Preferences
To set splash image preferences, modify the value of the preference keys in the /apps/
gnome-session/options/ location. For example, if you do not want users ever
to see a splash image, set a mandatory value as follows:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set
/apps/gnome-session/options/show_splash_screen false
To set a default value for this preference, use the following command:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source
xml:readwrite:/etc/opt/gnome/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set
/apps/gnome-session/options/show_splash_screen false
You can also set other splash image preferences. For more information, see the gnome-
session.schemas schema definition file.
10.1.7 Restoring Default Preference Values
To restore the default preference values for a user, use the following command:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source user-configuration-source
--recursive-unset
Replace user-configuration-source with the configuration source in the
.gconf directory in the home directory of the user.
This command resets the values of all preference keys, in all subdirectories, from the
user setting to the setting in the default configuration source.
10.1.8 Configuration Editor
The Configuration Editor (GConf Editor) lets you view and edit the values of the keys
stored in the GConf repository.
