Anybody know how to set the screensaver from the command line?
Using gconf-editor I figured out the key that changes is
/apps/gnome-screensaver/themes
Using gconftool-2 I can get the string back
gconftool-2 --get /apps/gnome-screensaver/themes
[screensavers-gltext
and set it
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/themes
"[screensavers-gltext]"
But the GUI just shows the screensaver isn't set to anything in particular....
I can change it using the GUI, and gconftool-2 shows the same string
back as the one I set.
Maybe there's a second key pair or something? A quick web search
seems to say I'm on the right track.
