Is there an official tool that can save and restore gnome-specific settings ? I know several applications uses ~/.config, I don't care about them, just settings for gnome, e.g panel applets, keyboard shortcuts, and other application uses gconf.
P.S: it's best for both gnome2/3
~/.config
. Doesn't that work in your case?~/.config
doesn't work in my case (Ubuntu Gnome Shell Remix 12.04)
