用得最習慣的 Gnome 桌面配置往往不是一蹴而就，而是一段時間慢慢調整得來的，如果要更換電腦，或是轉移到另外的 Linux 系統上工作，就要把原來的配置轉移過來。
當然你可以直接打包 Gnome 配置的相關目錄，甚至整個家目錄，不過 Yourgnome 這個小腳本可以更加方便的完成備份和恢復的任務。
Yourgnome 就是一個 bash 腳本文件，他可以備份和恢復你的 Gnome 的：
- 所有主題
- panel 設置
- 藍牙管理器設置
- Evolution 設置
- 歸檔管理器設置
- 屏保
- 會話設置
- Gnome-terminal 設置
- 音量控制設置
- Metacity 和 Compiz 設置
- Update-manager 和 Notifier 設置
- Totem 設置
- 網路管理器設置
- Screenlets 設置
詢問保存位置后，yourgnome 會把所有的配置文件打包成一個 tar.gz。
腳本非常簡單，以至於可以貼在這裡：
