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.
