If the above doesn't work, you might need to become root (administrator) first. Install the rootsh package from extras, and then execute this command in X-terminal before the gconftool command above:

Code:
sudo gainroot

I Got an Error saying

Error: Parse error: Integer '4294967295' is too large or small

Please help.

You keep doing typos.

Just copy the command within the browser and paste it to terminal, it will work.
