| 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?

Yes, I am referring to gnome-terminal profiles.  All profile editing and
creation can be done from within gnome-terminal itself.

Joe
