watch-xfce-xfconf - Configure XFCE programmatically!

The command-line tool watch-xfce-xfconf will allow you to watch and display the xfconf-query commands of all the XFCE 4 / Xfconf settings that are being modified by XFCE programs like xfce4-settings-manager, thunar, catfish, ristretto...

You can then add the xfconf-query commands to a Shell script that you can use to configure XFCE 4 programmatically.

Configuring XFCE 4 programmatically is useful if you want to have the same XFCE 4 settings on several computers.
