=How to change your GRAMPS setting via GNOME=

If you use the GNOME desktop and you run
<code>
sudo gconf-editor
</code>
in a terminal and give your root password, you will get a list of all your GNOME settings. If you look in '''apps''' you will find '''gramps'''.

The list has following sub-items:

*behavior

*interface

*paths

*preferences

*researcher

For easy reference you can bookmark the gramps position so you do not need to scroll down the complete list.

	GNOME provides a central system called GConf for storing user preferences on behalf of individual applications. Also GRAMPS uses the GConf API. The GConf database is structured like a filesystem, containing keys. Those keys are organized into a tree hierarchy. Each key can have a name and a value. GConf has several tools. There is a GUI that brings you to the '''Configuration Editor'''. This GUI does not appear by default in an Ubuntu Applications Menu. You can edit the Application menu and add it. Got to '''Applications -> Accessories -> Alacarte Menu Editor -> System Tools''' and turn on the Configuration Editor.
