Well - I might want my application (that embeds the Gtk Mozilla
embedding widget) to present a configuration dialog, rather than
expecting my end-users to hand-edit a configuration file. Now,
I know on Linux the users tend to be more comfortable doing this
sort of thing than on Windows, but still the non-embedded Mozilla
has preferences dialogs.
Now, I suspect there's a programmatic way of doing this via XPCOM,
but I'm just a simple programmer <g> using the GTK+ interface,
hence my response to the original post, and the comment you've
quoted.
Also, I don't know if it is legitimate for my application to
attempt to parse the preferences file itself, and write out
the modified entries.
But ultimately I made that comment because I wasn't sure I missed
something in the documentation.
Cheers,
Bernie
