In an attempt to learn more I generally follow threads and 'try' what I
have read on this list.
Please excuse my ignorance but, just what is the gconf-editor and how do
I open it?

Open a nautilus window and type applications:/// in the location bar
right click an icon and select edit launcher. To add, select add
