I suggest gnome-extra/gtweakui for this ebuild.

dunno, 'power users' use gconf-editor imo... i think these tools add nothing & tend to go out of sync over time.

the ebuild should use the gnome2 eclass.. check other gnome ebuilds

Sure Power Users use the gconf editor, but this seems like a decent package.
Comment 4 Andrew Sayman 2004-06-20 14:12:04 UTC
Power users love things like this because they don't have to remember all of the strings and such in gconf. Also, things like this expose those options to people that don't know how to dig as well. Giving them gTweakUI with a nice dialog and some help popups will prevent a lot of the problems that can come up from users wanting to make simple changes to gconf and screwing it up.

gtweakui-0.4.0.ebuild - bump & eclass

New version of the ebuild, for version 0.4.0 plus proper use of gnome2 eclass. 
I agree that this package would be useful, as gconf isn't always the easiest of
things to understand or find what you want in.	Anyway, it seems a good option
to provide users and is fairly simple :)

There hasn't been a release in over a year and all these options are available
in other caplets. Surprise that this was a useless app :)
