No, you miss the point. It's consistency across different applications that matters. I for one prefer editing a text file. Setting a M$ type registry with keys is contra what the /etc directory is largely about. IMHO, there is no advantage to having that ONE file as an edb one. No other part of entrance uses it. Even things like setting the count of items is silly. For example, in a text file I would have something like: [Sessions] KDE /opt/kde/bin/startkde kde.png gnome /usr/bin/gnome-session gnome.png enlightenment /usr/X11/bin/enlightenment enlightenment.png xfce xfce xfce.png [Authentication] .....
