Dconf

Important gsettings values, mostly for Callisto Desktop.

Transferring settings

Save dconf values and load them into another environment. For example, MATE Terminal settings:

dconf dump /org/mate/terminal/ > mate-terminal.dconf

dconf load /org/mate/terminal/ < mate-terminal.dconf

Application settings

org.mate.pluma.show-single-tab

  • Value: false
    • Do not show a tab bar in Pluma when there is a "single tab" (aka no tabs). This should be the state at all times.
  • TODO: Patch Pluma to prevent the creation of tabbed document windows, and the existence of empty container windows with no open documents.

org.mate.session.required-components

Setting the below value to an empty string configures MATE not to launch a panel. Callisto Desktop uses an FvwmButtonBar that does most of what mate-panel does.

gsettings set org.mate.session.required-components panel ''

Theoretically, setting the windowmanager key to 'fvwm' from the default 'marco' should replace the MATE window manager with FVWM, but it does not work:

gsettings set org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager 'fvwm'

Instead, we add an fvwm --replace startup application entry.
