Hi... I configured my docky to have two panels, the bottom one have
some applications and docklets e a side one with home, Download Music
and all the user dirs..... I wanted to have this setting the default
for every user.... that when a new user is created it starts docky
with this setting.... is there some hidden files that determines it's
configuration? or the only way to achieve this is trough a gconf
script?

Hey There,

You don't need any scripts, but you will need to execute a couple
commands in terminal. First, you should create a clean user and set up
docky exactly how you want it for new users. Then you'll want to pop
open terminal and run this command:

gconftool-2 --dump /apps/docky-2 > docky.xml

This command exports the current user's docky gconf settings to an xml
file in their home directory. Next you'll want to run this command:

gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/
gconf.xml.defaults --load /home/user/docky.xml

This command imports those docky settings to the default set of gconf
configs. After that, any new user should get those configs.
