Hi, I'm doing a roll out of openSuse to replace a bunch of windows boxes at the community radio station I'm involved with. I'm going to use the Gnome desktop I think and we generally only use about 6 applications. I'd really like to have those applications appear in the "favourites" section of the Gnome menu by default for users when they first login (they can customise them as they wish later on). Just wondering if anyone can tell me how I might achieve this? I had a look at /etc/skel but can't seem to find the defaults in there - are they hard-coded somewhere or hiding in a file somewhere else?
You should be able to configure it as you like as a user and copy that user's ~/.local/share/gnome-main-menu/applications.xbel to /etc/skel/.local/share/gnome-main-menu/applications.xbel. Don't forget to chown/chmod as appropriate. The actual defaults are defined in /usr/share/gnome-main-menu/applications.xbel but I'm not sure that's packaged as a configuration file, i.e. package upgrade might clobber changes. -Mark Gordon
