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.
