  • i got not installed "gnome-appearance-properties", or in my /usr/bin & /usr/sbin don't appear. In 10.04 y solved the problem with gconf-editor, but 12.04 it don't works. But with the @tijybba reply i solve almost completely, the firefox part i solve with a addon called "menu-editor", is not the best way to solve it, but works!!
