Quicktip - make gedit more sane

Continuing the agile setup of GNOME desktop using gconftool-2. Here's a snippet to make tab width 4 spaces, insert spaces instead of tabs and enable automatic indentation:

gconftool-2  --set /apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/tabs/insert_spaces --type bool 1
gconftool-2  --set /apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/tabs/tabs_size --type int 4
gconftool-2  --set /apps/gedit-2/preferences/editor/auto_indent/auto_indent --type bool 1

Well, GNOME 2 isn't that evil. Let's hope the Mate Desktop Environment really catches.
