--- Comment #8 from Tim "Taiwanese" Liim timliim@alcatel-lucent.com 2009-01-05 22:07:25 EDT --- This bug should be easy to fix. Try the following: - in the source tree, the file gnome-terminal-2.24.2/src/gnome-terminal.schemas.in change the key name /schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/cursor_blink_mode string (type) system (default value) to /schemas/desktop/gnome/interface/cursor_blink bool (type) false (default value) (I thought cursor_blink_mode is now obsolete, so it's safe to replace it with cursor_blink.) (you may need to change owner translation, etc.)
Here is how I think it would work: - during rpmbuild the file gnome-terminal-2.24.2/src/gnome-terminal.schemas.in (#1) becomes ./BUILD/gnome-terminal-2.24.2/src/gnome-terminal.schemas (#2) - during "rpm -i" #2 becomes /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-terminal.schemas (#3) - "rpm -q --scripts gnome-terminal" shows the following postinstall scriplet: gconftool-2 ... /etc/gconf/schemas/gnome-terminal.schemas (#4) which reads the value from #3 and store it in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml (#5) - during run-time, gnome-terminal reads value from gconfd-2, which reads default values from #5.
I tried this in my private build, and it did the trick when I tried it on my F10.
The same issue (cursor default to blinking) is still in F10 official release.
