Re: [SOLUTION] panel site defaults

["Jean-Raymond.Chauviere" <Jean-Raymond Chauviere cetelem fr>]

1) getting the default
a) create a user say 'testgui'
I do something like :

b) log in as testgui
c) configure as the default you want for your users
d)
DIR=skel_dir_for_users
cd ~testigu
find GNUstep .gnome* | cpio -pdmuv $DIR

2) installing a user say 'new_user'
a) get the default and install

cd $DIR
find GNUstep .gnome* | cpio -pdmuv ~new_user
cd ~new_user
U=new_user
find GNUstep .gnome* -type f | {
	while read f
	do
		# sed with explicit options
		sed -n -e "s_/testgui_/$U_" -e p $f >$f.tmp
		mv $f.tmp $f
	done
} 
# GNUstep is for windowmaker

good luck
