What Creates .gtkrc

carlosinfl · 06-16-2008, 08:01 AM

I am running RHEL 4.6 ES x86 & when I create a new user w/ "adduser", I notice it auto creates a dot file in their home directory which I not needed since this server is setup to be used non-graphically or in run level 3 only.

Does anyone know what application and or dependency causes /home/$user/.gtkrc?

I know I can simply run "rm -rf /home/*/.gtkrc however I would like to remove the application responsible for creating this file in my user's home directory.

Thanks for any help!

Hi.

It's probably in /etc/skel - everything in there is put into new users' home directories when you run useradd . Just remove the file from /etc/skel , and you should be good to go.

Do you happen to know what that is for? I don't want to remove it if its important but I don't know what the file is used for or what function it serves...

It's a configuration file for your Gnome/GTK theme.
