NAME

       gconf-editor - an editor for the GConf configuration system

SYNOPSIS

       gconf-editor

DESCRIPTION

       GConf-Editor  is  a  tool used for editing the GConf configuration database.  It might be useful when the
       proper configuration utility for some software provides no way of changing some option.

USAGE

       The main window consists of a tree showing the GConf configuration database hierarchy, a list of the keys
       available, and documentation for the selected key.

       Key  values  can  be  changed by either changing them directly in the list, or right clicking on them and
       selecting Edit key.  Changes take immediate effect in running programs.  New keys can be added  by  right
       clicking in the list and selecting New key.

       Bookmarks may be set for quick lookup of a key later.

NOTES

       This  tool  allows  you to directly edit your configuration database.  This is not the recommended way of
       setting desktop preferences.  Use this tool at your own risk.
