Method GTK2.Gnome2Client()->get_global_config_prefix()


Method get_global_config_prefix

string get_global_config_prefix()

Description

Get the config prefix that will be returned by get_config_prefix() for clients which have NOT been restarted or cloned (i.e. for clients started by the user without '--sm-' options). This config prefix may be used to write the user's preferred config for these "new"clients".

You could also use this prefix as a place to store and retrieve config details that you wish to apply to ALL instances of the app. However, this practice limits the users freedom to configure each instance in a different way so it should be used with caution.
