Minimize and maximize button as default in GNOME 3.32

Desktop

Hi All,
We are using TigerVNC sessions to use GNOME 3.32.2 desktop environment which ships with RHEL 8.
When we start the Desktop we noticed that mimize and maximize buttons are missing .

We got to know that we need to use following command to enable the minimize and maximize buttons explicitly.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ":minimize,maximize,close"

We have ~300 - 400 VNC sessions with /home mounted on NFS and users have option to select/switch between GNOME and XFCE. We don’t want to put this command in the bashrc as we dont want users to run it in their XFCE sessions.

Could you please let us know of a simpler way where we can make this setting as default for GNOME desktop environment by tweaking the change in a common file in OS?

I recommend you ask on a RHEL support forum: GNOME 3.32 was released more than 5 years ago, and it’s not a version supported upstream.

For information about settings, defaults, and overrides, you can look at the system administrators guide: Custom default values for system settings
