Ubuntu default settings

The first time I used Ubuntu (Version 7 something) it just felt right out of the box. Nowadays, I will have to set quiet some config values after setting up a new one. Especially the default gnome configuration sucks big hairy monkey balls!

Some helpful default settings (for me) are:

# $Id$
# set up sane gnome config on ubuntu.

# update-notifier should stay in tray (pops up anooyingly if it detects updates)
gconftool -s --type bool /apps/update-notifier/auto_launch false

# enter paths manually in nautilus if needed
gconftool -s --type bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry true

# we want a browser, no fucking new window on every click
gconftool -s --type bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_browser true

# Delete baby, i want to delete, not move. if i want to move i use move FTW!
gconftool -s --type bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete true

# show unix permissions in nautilus permission dalogs, not this mikey mouse ui
gconftool -s --type bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_advanced_permissions true

# default view should be listing in nautilus
gconftool -s --type string /apps/nautilus/preferences/default_folder_viewer "list_view"

# no text below toolbar icons, waste of scree nreal estate
gconftool -s --type string /desktop/gnome/interface/toolbar_style "icons"

# display unix permission, owner and group
gconftool-2 --set --type list --list-type=string /apps/nautilus/list_view/default_visible_columns \
[name,size,type,date_modified,permissions,owner,group]

# don't open inserted media in nautilus
gconftool -s --type bool /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount_open false

# do not confirm delete
gconftool -s --type bool  /apps/nautilus/preferences/confirm_trash false
