I'm not sure that making links from /etc/athena/gconf into AFS would
work out well (in terms of fault isolation and operation without net
access), but I've come up with an alternative.
Install the three gnumeric schemas files into the locker somewhere, and
in the startup script, run:
env GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE=xml::$HOME/.gconf \
gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule path/to/gnumeric-dialogs.schemas
for each of the three schemas files. Make sure not to set
GCONF_CONFIG_SOURCE permanently, or it might cause gnumeric itself to
ignore the system defaults directory.
This will create and associate all of the necessary schemas in the
user's home directory. It will not stomp on any existing settings, and
as gnumeric is upgraded you should be able to simply start installing
the new schemas files instead of the old ones. They are very noisy
commands, so you'll probably want to suppress the output. They should
only take a couple of seconds to execute according to my timings.
