Hi.
I’m wondering why was padding 10 added to default gnome-panel configuration? My panel at 1280x1024 with bunch of elements has now difficulties to fit them all. And at smaller resolutions, for example, at netbooks that wouldn’t be useful at all.

The padding was added because it makes things look less crammed together. If it doesn't work for you,
gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel/padding 0 gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/padding 0
will get rid of it.

Any chance instead of 10, maybe try using between 3-5 and see how that works? It just seemed with 10, that the icons were a little *too* far apart and took up a whole lot more room.

I think too that it could be made smaller, but around 7 to match padding in regular menus.

Wow. FWIW, I think it sucks. In any case padding 10 is far too large as I can fit an icon in between every other icon -not to mention stuff not fitting in the screen's width.
If it doesn't work for you,
gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel/padding 0 gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/bottom_panel/padding 0
How do I set this for all users so that I can deploy it for all users over all systems?

I didn't know our panel would shrink down to a height of 10. But be that as it may, to make a system-wide gconf setting change, do
gconftool-2 --direct \ --config-source =xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system \ --type int --set /apps/panel/toplevels/top_panel/padding 0
and so on.

Returning to a slightly earlier question in a different thread, which has been unanswered for like... 30 seconds or so ;-)
Is there a utility that can show me what kind of settings are available, and optionally configurable? Note I would not like to delegate to someone to run sabayon every release.
I would rather manage a default and/or mandatory configuration file of which I presume one is "/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system", but what is the other?

To paraphrase you:
