import from any other device. When you import settings, you have additional options,
such as the following:
Add the new imported settings that are not present in the policy: Adds only those
GConf settings that are not part of existing policy settings. This is selected by default. Use
this option to update the policy by including more directories and keys.
Override the settings that are already present in the policy with the imported
settings:
Overrides the existing settings with the imported policy settings. Use this option
to use the newly imported settings instead of the ones configured in the policy.
Remove settings from the policy that are not present among the imported settings:
Removes those policy settings that are not present in the imported settings. Use this
feature to discard any additional settings that might be present in the original policy and
that you do not want as a part of the updated policy.

requirements of the Generic GNOME policy, see
Section 17.8, “Editing System

applied on the device.
