Hello Again, I have now been told by every fedora mailling list that this is indeed the list to ask this question.
I can understand if most of you don't any idea how to do this, but the person who makes the changes for Fedora should be on this list and if he, or any one else knows how, please as least give me a bigger hint than RTFM. After reading at least 50 of them, two versions of the gnome administration manual (2.2 and 2.4), along with the user manuals that go with them, and so much code and changelogs that I'm rather sick of them. I'd like to sum it all up from one of the Austin Power movies.

What file, or set of files, do you need to modify, to change the default gnome-panel buttons? By default I mean the buttons that a newly created user would see.

The sysadmin guide at http://www.gnome.org/learn/ has a section on configuring the panel. You should start there. Taking a quick look: http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/gconf-8.html#gconf-14 has information.
Good luck, -Jonathan
Hey Troy,
I could be totally wrong here, but I did some checking and a friend of mine, suggested maybe this area: /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/panel/default_setup/objects
I don't know if that's right or not... but it's some place to start. I would also consider hanging on #gnome perhaps... on irc.gnome.org I'm "occy" there if you need any help. Maybe together we can fixx0r it. :)

In digging through GConf editor, I found something under /apps/panel/default_setup/general that pointed to the locations of the panel. It actually contained the stuff that is in the default setup.
I'm not sure if that helps, but if it's something that could be edited within ~/.gconf, couldn't that be placed in /etc/skel so that new users would be created with those setting?
(I'm basing the /etc/skel part on what I read in "Red Hat Linux 9 Bible".)

Hi, Thanks for the help. And thanks to those that tossed me some bones :) I'm going to move this over to gnome's maillist lists. I am currently working on RedHat 9 and RedHat Enterprise 3, and don't have access to my actual Fedora machine, but I thought the configurations would still be close enough, but it looks like they arn't. I believe I'm going to have to do things different between Gnome 2.2 and 2.4. It certainly looks like it is easier to set it in gnome 2.4 (Fedora) versus 2.2 (RedHat 9 and Enterprise 3) I'm sorry to have bothered ya'll. If you wish, I'll post the answer when I get it. Thanks again. Troy Dawson
