Description Ian Collier 2007-03-05 16:59:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
I would like to modify the default locking behaviour for all users.  It seems I
can only do this by modifying /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-screensaver.schemas
(unless someone has another suggestion), but this gets overwritten whenever
gnome-screensaver is updated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-4.fc6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -qlc gnome-screensaver
  
Actual results:
No output

Expected results:
Should list some (or all) of the files from this package that reside in /etc
since that's the system config directory.
Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-03-05 18:45:31 UTC 
So modifying the schema is actually not the right way to do it (I realize it's
misleading that the file is in /etc, that was a design mistake that I hope to
correct at some point, but it's not gnome-screensaver specific).

Probably the nicest way to do it is to roll your own config rpm.

You can get a stub rpm by installing the rpmdevtools package and then running
rpmdev-newspec.  There is also a lot of packaging information on the fedora wiki.

I would just add some %post scriplet that does something like:
GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=$(gconftool-2 --get-default-source)
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=$GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE --load
%{_datadir}/my-site-config/gnome-screensaver/gnome-screensaver.entries

where gnome-screensaver.entries contains the defaults you want.

An easy way to generate the .entries file is to setup the settings in a local
user account and then use gconftool-2 --dump on /apps/gnome-screensaver

Hope that helps, and I realize it's not super straight forward.  Another option
would be to look into using sabayon.
