Hi folks,

I'm using SL6.1 with GNOME and gedit 2.28.4 and all gedit preferences
are locked (greyed out). Does someone see the same behaviour
or has any pointers how I can change the gedit preferences?

What I've found so far:
gconf-editor shows a list of variables under
/apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/ but they have no name/value.

Using the following on the command line:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/auto_indent/auto_indent
--type bool false
the preference in gedit for indentation is now working and gconf-editor
shows a name/value pair for auto_indent but says: "This key has no schema".

So far so good, but I'd like to replace tabs insertion with spaces
and don't know the gconftool command for that. Also, there must be an
easier way to change gedit preferences. 

Thanks for any help,
Herb
