!! Changing the [GNOME] default WebBrowser To change the browser that fires up when you click on links in various [GNOME] applications, just change the default browser in the [GNOME] control center (you can bring up the panel in question directly by running __<tt>gnome-default-applications-properties</tt>__). Enter something like __<tt>opera "%s"</tt>__ or __<tt>mozilla "%s"</tt>__ in the Custom Web Browser box. !! Changing the GNOME2 WindowManager GNOME 1.4 has a capplet for changing window manager. In GNOME 2.x, you can change it * Per user: =$ gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default -t string /usr/bin/sawfish= * System wide: edit /usr/share/gnome/default.wm (maybe) If the above fails because you have a previously saved session with metacity, then loading the Gnome Session manager, deleting 'Default' and then adding a new 'Default' seems to allow sawfish to start. According to [Twisted Radix|http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/2005/10/setting-your-gnome-window-manager-in_28.html], this doesn't work on GNOME 2.12+. ;:Edit or create ~/.gnomerc and add "export WINDOW_MANAGER=sawfish" (or whatever) to it. ;:Apparently Gnome 2.12 (and hence Ubuntu Breezy) decided to stop supporting the /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager entry in gconf. The key says "This key has been deprecated since GNOME 2.12", but what they mean is "broken", not "deprecated" (from what I can tell). !! Various Power toys for tweaking hidden Gnome preferences http://live.gnome.org/PowerUserTools !! Filenames with + signs are not completely selected on Double Click when using gnome-terminal(1) Using the default gnome-terminal(1) settings when double clicking on a filename containing a + character, only the portion of the filename up to the + is selected. This can get incredibly annoying! Fortunately there is a very simple fix, right click on your terminal, choose 'Edit Current Profile', Add + to the end of the "Select-by-word-characters' text box, Close. !! My GNOME top panel is missing To revert to the default panel configuration: <pre> gnome-session-remove gnome-panel gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel gnome-panel & </pre> Found at http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10675.
