LiveCD Customization: How do I change the default panels?

Asked by Jon Ramvi

I've made this sexy /etc/gconf/schemas/local-panel-default-setup.entries and to try to load it as default panel with this command:
gconftool-2 --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/local.xml.defaults \
--direct --load \
/etc/gconf/schemas/local-panel-default-setup.entries
But the livecd starts up the same God damn standard panels every time
Why? :)

1) create an example user and adjust the settings
2) $ gconftool-2 --dump BRANCH > /home/tempusername/filename
3) figure out the settings branch (e.g. /apps/panel)
4 $ sudo cp /home/tempusername/filename /home/realusername/live/edit/
5) chroot into the CD being customized
6) # gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --load /filename
7) # rm /filename
8) remove the temp user
