None of them are in /usr/libexec either. ls /usr/libexec/gc* <no hits> > With gconf-editor it is a GUI thing, open it, browse to > /apps/metacity/general, you will see the right key and docs on it. > I would gladly open it, if only I could learn where it is. I see no such item in my menus anywhere. A curory search of gnome help browser turns up nothing. There seems to be no global way to search gnome help. Menus: applications, utilities, system all draw blanks.... > With gconftool, you might find the key and change it as follows: > > # locate the right key > $ gconftool-2 -R /apps/metacity | less > (note /apps/metacity/general/auto_raise_delay) > > # look at the schema for the key > $ gconftool-2 --get /schemas/apps/metacity/general/auto_raise_delay > Type: int > List Type: *invalid > Car Type: *invalid* > Cdr Type: *invalid* > Default Value: 500 > Owner: metacity > Short Desc: Delay in milliseconds for the auto raise option > Long Desc: > The time delay before raising a window if auto_raise is > set to true.

Where does one learn of these commands? `man' knows nothing about them. grep -r gconf /usr/share/gnome* <nada> grep -r gconf-editor /usr/share/doc/gnome* <nada> grep -r gconf-editor ~/ /home/reader/.gconf/apps/gnome-settings/gnome-panel/%gconf.xml:<gconf><entry name="history-gnome-run" mtime="1029377936" muser="reader" type="list" ltype="string"><li type="string"><stringvalue>gconf-editor</stringvalue></li></entry></gconf> Still no help... why is it so well hidden?
