Re: global config

["Erik Hendrix" <hendrix_erik hotmail com>]

Hi there,

I roughly had the same problem but then on Solaris. And this is what I did :

For the desktop I adjusted some stuff in the directory gnome/lib/mc
Mine is in /opt/gnome/lib/mc but yours is most likely going to be in 
/usr/gnome/lib/mc

For the panel, I created a panel like I want it for a user and copied that 
over to the .skel directory. And the same for any other settings.
Look in the .gnome directory (in your home directory) for the files which 
contain the information.

I then adjusted my Xinitrc.gnome script to check if the .gnome directory 
exists in the user's home directory and if not I copy it over.

Hope this helps.
