Confirm
used dconf-editor instead to set the overrides and now those entries
appear within gedit.
What did you change? I just went through all of dconf-editor listed
items and did not recognize anything to change that would turn on
settings/preferences in gedit let alone directly turn off word wrap.
And for Nautilus the same. How do I switch to trees view from places?
Probably will need to take this to the gnome list. But there is no
help-about so that I can find out what version of gnome we are running
here to ask about.
