+----[ Joe Marcus Clarke <marcus@FreeBSD.org> (08.Jan.2005 15:13): | [snip] | I don't think this is possible. In order for me to put custom icons on | my various terminal launchers, I had to add those icons to each terminal | profile. It was work, but worth the effort. Personally, I think this | is a bug with GNOME, but haven't yet got annoyed enough to officially | complain. | | Joe | +----] Joe, thanks for the answer, and excuse my delay in replying. But what exactly is a 'terminal profile'? Is this a gnome thing? Do these 'profiles' exist or should I create them? I searched on my disk and found a directory named 'profiles' for a variety of gnome apps under /usr/X11R6/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps. For example, for gnome-terminal, the %gconf.xml found under /usr/X11R6/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/ has an entry named icon which apparently points to some other place: <entry name="icon" mtime="1104221888" schema="/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/icon"/> and again looking around I've found yet another %gconf.xml (why do they begin with a %?) at /usr/X11R6/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/schemas/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/ (do the previous entry referred to this file?) which contains again another entry named 'icon', but now with a filename that does appear to point to an actual graphic file: <entry name="icon" mtime="1104221888" type="schema" stype="string" owner="gnome-terminal"> [several <local_schema> </local_schema> tags snipped] <local_schema locale="C" short_desc="Icon for terminal window"> <default type="string"> <stringvalue>gnome-terminal.png</stringvalue> </default> <longdesc> Icon to use for tabs/windows containing this profile. </longdesc> </local_schema> am I on the right track? What other files should I need to edit/create in order for this 'magic' to work? Or perhaps it could be done with gconf? Thanks again for any pointer, Fernan
