Notice how my entire point was that we should use VCD, an ASCII text
file format?

However, programs /should/ however integrate nicely with their
environment.  For a gnome program, that would meant to let configuration
settings be handled by gconf.

The gconf database can be manipulated easily from a batch file:


  gconftool-2  --set keyname --type string  "newvalue"
  gconftool-2  --get keyname
  gconftool-2  --unset keyname


Concrete examples:


  gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/mousekeys_init_delay
  gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/mousekeys_init_delay 
--type int 150


There's also a nice GUI editor for the database.
