如果已經知道 schema 的話，按照 schema 去找；若是不知道 gconf-editor 有 Find 功能可用。


把設定界面打開，一邊調整一邊觀察。所以就會知道該怎麼調整 gnome 設定。



gnome 的說明 https://projects.gnome.org/gconf/

gconf-editor
GNOME has a prototype-quality unfinished program called gconf-editor which is sort of the GUI equivalent of gconftool. Try it out.

dconf 是比較新的工具，先用 dconf，找沒有想要的屬性的話再用 gconf 查找。原本的回答很不錯，直接引用：

dconf is a new way for applications to store settings, and it is intended to replace gconf. dconf-editor and gconf-editor are for their respective configuration systems, and they don't talk to each other. At the moment that transition is still a work in progress, so many applications continue to use gconf. In addition, some applications still have settings left over in gconf even though they are using dconf now.

Almost all of the software that is installed by default - everything that comes from GNOME - uses dconf (if anything). Almost everything else that is available uses gconf, though this is of course changing as older software is brought up to date.

So, yes, changing a setting in gconf is likely to do something! If you did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 and didn't migrate your gconf settings, it's likely that everything you see with gconf-editor is being looked at and understood by some current application. If your settings predate 11.10, there may be stuff there that isn't being used.

As a rule of thumb, check dconf first and if what you're looking for isn't there, try gconf.
