What is Sabayon?
Sabayon is a system administration tool to manage GNOME desktop settings. Sabayon provides a sane way to edit GConf defaults and GConf mandatory keys: the same way you edit your desktop. Sabayon launches profiles in an Xephyr window. Any changes you make in the Xephyr window are saved back to the profile file, which can then be applied to user's accounts.
More screenshots and a step by step example are available from Seth Nickell blog about sabayon 0.12.
Features
Currently Sabayon is limited to the creation and update of user preference profiles. It does not deal with the very large problem of actually populating target system with those preferences.
Supported configuration backend
So far Sabayon supports complete files and the configuration format for:
- GConf
- Mozilla/Firefox
We are looking into or planning on adding support for the following:
- OpenOffice.org
