Custom User Profile For GNOME 3?
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 successfully with desktop environments like GNOME 2, Xfce or KDE. I just copied over the relevant files from
~/.config, ~/.kde4 (IIRC), ~/.gconf or whatever to /etc/skel, and newly created users had their settings ready.
Anybody knows how I can manage this with GNOME 3?
Cheers,
Niki

Niki,
Look at dconf / gsettings.

You might take a look at the gsettings utility.

OK, I finally got around to play with it. It looks like GNOME 3 stores all of its user settings in ~/.config/dconf/user. I tried copying that over recursively to /etc/skel, and it works. New users get the exact same profile.
thanks!
