Where are shell/terminal settings stored?
GNOME Terminal profiles are stored in: ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles
.
(You might want to back up the whole .gconf
directory, though.)
Newer gnome-terminal (3.8+ I think) stores its config in dconf instead gconf.
gsettings list-recursively | grep -i org.gnome.Terminal
