Red Hat DESKTOP - Example: Removing Panel Applets

Chapter 2. Configuring the Panel 7
Tip
Refer to the GNOME Desktop System Administration Guide for an alternative method for changing
the default panel configuration to that described below.
The following provides a more complex example of how to modify the default panel configuration.
2.1.3.1. Example: Removing the Print Manager launcher and the Notification
Area
Consider a relatively straightforward example and assume that we wish to remove the Print Manager
launcher and the Notification Area from the default configuration.
• Make a copy of /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries:
# cp /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries \
/etc/gconf/schemas/local-panel-default-setup.entries
• Edit local-panel-default-setup.entries, removing the print_launcher entry from
object_id_list and removing the print_launcher directory from the objects directory:
<value>
<string>spreadsheet_launcher</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>print_launcher</string>
</value>
</list>
</list>
</value>
</entry>
...
<!-- Print Launcher -->
<entry>
<key>objects/print_launcher/object_type</key>
<schema_key>/schemas/apps/panel/objects/object_type</schema_key>
<value>
<string>launcher-object</string>
</value>
</entry>
...
<entry>
<key>objects/print_launcher/menu_path</key>
<schema_key>/schemas/apps/panel/objects/menu_path</schema_key>
</entry>
<entry>
<key>objects/print_launcher/action_type</key>
<schema_key>/schemas/apps/panel/objects/action_type</schema_key>
</entry>
<!-- Workspace Switcher Applet -->
• Next, remove the systray entry from applet_id_list and remove the systray directory from
the applets directory:
<string>mixer</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>systray</string>
</value>
<value>
