They actually *are* configuration files. You can edit them with gconftool or gconf-editor. > It produced nearly 70,000 lines of diff. That is quite frankly > ridiculous.

Otherwise, I propose a mass bug filing. Mass bug filing when only one package is implicated and the other ones are relying on it? This is ridiculous. As many people already complained about the size of /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults, the default settings are in the process to be moved to /var/lib/gconf/defaults. All packages built with debhelper >= 4.9.8.1 are now going to do this automatically. When GNOME 2.12 is uploaded, most defaults will move automatically to this new place. After that, we'll have to hunt down and rebuild all remaining packages. -- .''`. Josselin Mouette /\./\ : :' : [EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `' [EMAIL PROTECTED] `- Debian GNU/Linux -- The power of freedom
