It's called gconf-editor (both the package and the way you invoke it). :D

I know right? And Microsoft would NEVER sue anyone over patents. Why that would just be so unfair! :P

I don't think Dash's echo really needs the -e to use backslashes.

Interesting. Not surprisingly, the bottom panel and the window list have the most work left to do. The menu just needs a little drag and drop and it'll be done. :D

No, there's also zsync, csync, grsync, isync, obsync, etc. (okay maybe that joke isn't all that good).
