The "read-only source" of gconf is in /etc/gconf/, probably |
| 28 |
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I use meld too, but I have no entry of it in /etc/gconf (checked with |
| 31 |
"grep -ri meld /etc/gconf/"). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
But I do have entries for the gconf-path |
| 34 |
`/apps/gnome-settings/meld/history-direntry' if I look at it with |
| 35 |
gconf-editor. They are stored in |
| 36 |
~/.gconf/apps/gnome-settings/meld/%gconf.xml |
| 37 |
It seems "history-direntry" is a list of directories I used meld in. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Hope the info helps debugging, |
