At work we're using 11.10 but for some reason IT refuse to install CCSM or gconf-editor.

I know I can edit the config using gconftool-2, but does anyone know of a comprehensive list of the available options?

The things I'm mainly looking for are the option to turn off the unity bar autohide and to turn on window snapping (ie windows snapping to other windows).

Cheers.

Do you have proper file tree branching (with %gconf.xml) in ~/.gconf/apps/compizconfig-1 – zetah May 14 '12 at 16:10
ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1925463 try that one – Jai May 14 '12 at 16:11
@zetah I believe so - there is a directory structure, and I've already managed to use the link provided by raja.genupula to turn off auto-hide of the unity bar (thanks btw). I really just need a link to a list of the possible options. – OFB May 14 '12 at 16:15

I had to change snap settings in CCSM so that appropriate file was created...

Here is contents of ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1/plugins/snap/screen0/options/%gconf.xml with snapping set to windows edges instead screen edges:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
    <entry name="edges_categories" mtime="1337013971" type="list" ltype="int">
        <li type="int" value="1"/>
    </entry>
</gconf>

I hope that's the file
