Change default panel configuration

[GlasGhost]

So I tried to set the default settings with this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5941192&postcount=3).

gconftool-2 --dump /apps/panel > default_settings.xml
sudo cp ./default_settings.xml /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries

The following works. It resets the panels to the default setttings.

#!/bin/bash
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel
rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/panel
pkill gnome-panel
However the default settings are not the new ones I made in the 1st snippet. What am I doing wrong?

It could be because the method is from a 3 year thread and it is not stated what version of Ubuntu or Gnome is being used .

you could what?

also its stated that I am using gnome, but to be more specific I am using gnome 2.32.1

I am using Lucid Lynx.

Excuse me . I meant It could be . I was referring to the link , it is from before Lucid was released , so the author could have been using Gnome 2 and not Gnome 2.32 .

Perhaps I should just post this in the gnome forumns/mailing list.

I just thought some1 from the ubuntu community might be of help.
