<p>There are two tools you can use to browse <app>gsettings</app> values,
the <app>dconf-editor</app> graphical utility and the <app>gsettings</app>
command line utility.</p>
<p>Both <app>dconf-editor</app> and <app>gsettings</app> let you browse and
change options for system and application preferences. You can even use
them to change preferences that do not exist in the graphical user interface.
</p>
<p><app>Dconf-editor</app> may be better to use if you are not familiar with
the options available an application. However, as a commandline application,
<app>gsettings</app> is more powerful than <app>dconf-editor</app>. <app>
Gsettings</app> permits bash completion, and you can write scripts that
include <app>gsettings</app> commands.</p>
<note style="warning"><p>Note that these tools always operate using the
current user's <app>gsettings</app> database, so you should not run these
applications as root.</p></note>
<note><p>Both <app>dconf-editor</app> and <app>gsettings</app> require a
D-Bus session bus in order to make any changes. This is because the
<sys>dconf</sys> daemon must be activated using D-Bus.</p></note>
<p>You can get the required session bus by running gsettings under
<sys>dbus-launch</sys> utility, like this:</p>
<code>dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background draw-background true</code>
