I have Ubuntu 8.04. I would like to modify Preferences directly rather than through the System menu in Gnome. I would like to modify/write scripts to:
1) launch gnome-terminal on start up as when I do that via the System->Preferences->Sessions it appears without a title bar so I am unable to move the terminal
2) to change the idle time for the screen saver so I can just execute a script rather than setting it via System->Preferences->Screensaver (as I change it daily to run a video for news in the morning and then decrease the idle time again after it's done)
Does anyone know which files/settings have to be modified in order to do the above?
Thanks.
