To Set Splash Image Preferences

To set splash image preferences, you modify the value of the preference keys in the /apps/gnome-session/options/ location. For example, if you do not want users to see a splash image, set a mandatory value as follows:

# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type bool --set /apps/gnome-session/options/show_splash_screen false

To set a default value for this preference, execute the following command:

# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --type bool --set /apps/gnome-session/options/show_splash_screen false

You can also set other splash image preferences. For information about the other splash image preferences, see the gnome-session.schemas schema definition file.
