To Restore Default Preference Values

To restore the default preference values for a user, run the following command:

# gconftool-2 --direct --config-source user-configuration-source --recursive-unset

Replace user-configuration-source with the configuration source in the .gconf directory in the home directory of the user.

This command resets the values of all preference keys, in all subdirectories, from the user setting to the setting in the default configuration source.
