afaik, gconf is legacy and dconf/gsettings is the new state-of-the art.

relatively big change. right now, the g-s-d keys currently are designed to
work on a global scale, even if the tablet isn't pluged in. the schema
hierarchy is currently:
org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.wacom
org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.wacom.stylus
org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.wacom.eraser
org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.wacom.cursor
org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.wacom.pad
Now, there is no technical reason this couldn't be
org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.wacom.ser-0xa500d.stylus
and similar, with the serial number of the tablet as an extra nesting level.
What needs to be added for that though is the code that hooks into the
serial code (and double-checking that this code really works now, off-hand
I'm not sure if I finished those patches).
Then of course you're running into the next issue: a stylus of serial
0xDEADBEEF - do you configure it for the stylus or separately for each
tablet? I think these are the questions that we need to address first before
we even start implementing - plus of course getting the driver into shape
that it supports what we're planning to do.
Cheers,
Peter
