Er, by not editing the xml directly?
gconftool or gconf-editor.
gconftool or gconf-editor.

So I had to use "vi" modifying this file.

You can use gconftool-2 for modifying gconf, e.g.
Directly editing the XML doesn't work because the XML is only the backend where gconf stores its data. It's not even safe to edit the XML while gconfd is running.
Code:
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/myapp/somesetting "Some Value"

i'd recommend http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/gconf-editor/ anyway.... isn't it all so much easier with a GUI?

Thanks all! My problem has been solved by "gconftool-2".
I want to take the change effect immediately instead of restarting the N800.
I have tried several approaches:
1. ifconfig wlan0 down/up
2. /etc/init.d/networking restart
3. dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/mce/signal com.nokia.mce.signal.sig_device_mode_ind string:"flight/normal"
4. close X terminal and restart it.
But these above didn't work and I must still restart the machine to apply the change.
Does anybody know how to apply it immediately?
