I was suggesting instead of losing the information by deleting it, it would be worthwhile to "translate" the gconf commands to the corresponding dconf commands. > Maybe what you write is the reason the recipe from Worg didn't work? I > don't know too much about Gnome - I'm just a user, so I don't know. But you *are* a user :), I was just suggesting with a little more effort maybe you can figure out what the correct command is. I think it would be a worthy addition to Worg. With your current change, we make the Worg entry even more desktop dependent than before[1]. Hope my encourangements get you motivated to look into this. Cheers, Footnotes: [1] Although gconf/dconf is used with Gnome, there are many other desktops that use them as backends. After all most Gnome apps are rather popular. -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
