There is a project to bridge dconf's backend to the libgconf API. It works for some *very* simple applications like gucharmap and the calculator. It was only made as a very simple proof of concept -- it will need a lot of work before it has wide usability. Help is massively appreciated here. > Otherwise, it sounds like a good idea to me; though - can you confirm > that the latest implementation does not scatter data we need to read on > login / app launch across tens of tiny files, and that the authoritative > data store is somewhat human readable ? :-) "yes" and "yes" (but probably you meant "no"). Data is in a single file, and humans can read it with the right tools. 'cat' is not one of those tools. :) Cheers _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
