You know whats fucking brilliant, gconf-editor
I was trying to figure out for the longest time how to edit the power settings on my Ubuntu netbook. While there are limited options in the default power manager, after asking around my Linux savey friends recommended writing some shell scripts etc.
After much trouble and no progress, I finally found someone talking of this gconf-editor and how they changed some setting. I thought, maybe this might have the settings I am looking for, so I fire up my terminal and type
gconf-editor
in seconds I am overwhelmed with an awesome amount of options. gconf is like windows regedit on performance steroids. So, the lesson in this story is, if you have any settings you want to change in ubuntu and cant find them in the default managers, look to gconf-editor, it holds the answers to all your setting related questions.
Alas, I would use Linux more seriously if it was not being held back by the lack of game support and flash development support. Makes me sad
goodnight
