The dconf database is pretty easy to examine using the ‘dconf’ tool. A lot of programs
use dconf these days, so it is worth getting to know it.
You can run `dconf dump / > /tmp/dconf-before.txt` and then run it again with a file
to diff after you add/change things. It will tell you the dconf keys and values to edit.
You can then set things with `*dconf*write/KEY//VALUE`. /
Oh, examining is easy. Done that before.
Adding entries, like to the panel, would be a different story. Not what interests me.
