Hi Everyone, I'm going to make some big structural cleanups to core which is likely to affect everyone here, but I believe is for the better, so I am posting this mail now to get some feedback and make sure that we don't tread on anyone's toes when I merge all of this stuff. 1st Change: Decorators are going in their own repo ========================================= The decorators

In CentOS 6 gconftool-2 (command line) is used to enable/disable items. In CentOS 7 I found "settings->power-> blank screen" as something I wish to configure by the command line? How is that accomplished? I brought up gconf-editor and searched for power and blank and found nothing. How can I control this setting from the command line? Thanks Jerry

On Centos 6 - how do you disable the control-alt-delete function in GNOME? Editing /etc/init/control-alt-delete.conf works for console mode but not for GNOME. Thanks, Jerry

Some how I have changed something such that the command line: gconftool-2 -t string --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /usr/share/backgrounds/images/other.jpg does not change my background any longer.

Hi, I wonder where - and eventually how - GNOME 3 stores its user preferences. I'd like to create a custom user profile, with slightly different settings than the default ones: * don't show home folder on ~/Desktop * don't show Trash * use custom default wallpaper * stretch wallpaper instead of zooming * use different default icon theme * etc. Until now I've done this

I use
