DESCRIPTION
       Each  preference  in  the  GConf repository is expressed as a key-value
       pair. A GConf preference key is an element in the GConf repository that
       corresponds  to  an application prefer-ence.  Preference keys typically
       have simple values such as strings, integers, or lists of  strings  and
       integers.  The default key-value pairs are installed on the system, and
       are known as schemas. gconftool-2 is the  command-line  interface  tool
       that enables you to set the values of keys, display the values of keys,
       and install schemas from schema definition files when  you  install  an
       application.  The  GConf  preference keys are stored and managed by the
       GConf daemon (gconfd-2).  These keys are cached in memory, and saved to
       disk in XML format when appropriate.

OPTIONS

       -u, --unset
              Unset the keys on the command line.

       --recursive-unset
              Recursively  unset  all keys at or below the key/directory names
              on the command line.

       -a, --all-entries
              Print all key/value pairs in a directory.

       --all-dirs
              Print all subdirectories in a directory.

       -R, --recursive-list
              Print all subdirectories and entries under a dir, recursively.

       --dir-exists=STRING
              Return 0 if the  directory  exists,  2  if  it  does  not.   -t,
              --type=int|bool|float|string|list|pair  Specify  the type of the
              value being set, or the type of the value  a  schema  describes.

       --list-type=int|bool|float|string
              Specify the type of the list value being set, or the type of the
              value a schema describes. Unique abbreviations are allowed.

              name to

       --unapply-schema
              Remove any schema name applied to the given keys

       --get-default-source
              Get the name of the default source.
