GCONF-EDITOR(1) General Commands Manual GCONF-EDITOR(1)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.

For some reason something has changing in my AIX environment where when I type:
ACLEDIT filename
...I get:
3002-104 acledit: EDITOR environment variable must be full pathname
I know I need to reset the EDITOR variables path to /usr/bin/vi but I can't remember the syntax anyone? (2 Replies)
I need to login to several AIX boxes .... I use putty for that and I am losing the configurations as I logout. For ex: I like to work with emacs editor, as AIX comes default with ksh , I set it using set -o emacs, once I log out and login back I am back again in ksh ... :confused: (13 Replies)
