			Reboot and you should have multiple home screens.

			===Notes on using Gconf===
			The previous "how to test" section assumes familiarity with Gconf. Gconf is the Gnome preferences configuration system. It is being used to store Sugar preferences in this case. You can start the tool from the command line in Terminal. The -2 in gconftool-2 means that you are using version 2 of Gconf. Typical switches are
			-s set a value
			-u unset a value
			-g get (print) a value
			-t set the type (eg int) of a value

Created page with "You need to use gconf settings to enable it. In desktop/sugar/desktop, you need to add view_icons entries (and optionally, favorite_icons), e.g.: <pre> <?xml version="1.0"?>..."

New page

You need to use gconf settings to enable it.

In desktop/sugar/desktop, you need to add view_icons entries (and optionally, favorite_icons), e.g.:

<pre>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="view_icons" mtime="1375102663" type="list" ltype="string">
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>view-radial</stringvalue>
</li>
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>view-radial</stringvalue>
</li>
</entry>
<entry name="favorite_icons" mtime="1375102663" type="list" ltype="strin
g">
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>emblem-favorite</stringvalue>
</li>
<li type="string">
<stringvalue>emblem-favorite</stringvalue>
</li>
</entry>
</gconf>
</pre>

This will result in two homeviews, each using the standard view-radial icon on the desktop and the emblem-favorite icon in the list view.

from the cmd line, you can configure it something like this:

gconftool-2 -s /desktop/sugar/desktop/view_icons --type list --list-type string ['view-radial','view-radial']
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/sugar/desktop/view_favorites --type list --list-type string [emblem-favorite','emblem-favorite']
