Graphical editor for GSettings/dconf?

Question

Is there an equivalent to gconf-editor for GSettings/dconf?

I know that I can use gsettings set ... on the command line, but that's a bit inconvenient (especially with list types).

There's dconf-editor, which is the equivalent to gconf-editor. To install it, run this command:

sudo apt-get install dconf-editor

For old Ubuntu versions (before 14.04), dconf-editor is provided by the dconf-tools package. You can install it by running this command:

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Currently, provided by `dconf-editor` package. (I'm using Ubuntu 14.04) – user.dz Jan 27 '15 at 12:37
