You're mistaking Raz-style bush-beating for the opposite argument methinks
Anand.
My reading suggests that Raz is counting on the Perl backend keeping this
configuration *independent* of X, which he sees as a Good Thing.
However, I think Raz may be mistaking the Setup Tools for something like
GConf. These two aren't related - not as yet anyway.
GConf is a new system for the configuration of GNOME applications, and
should be in GNOME 2.0 (1.4 will possibly see some integration of GConf).
Read about GConf at:
http://developer.gnome.org/feature/current/index.html
The Unix Setup Tools are designed to be platform independent configurators
for... well, Unixy stuff. ;)
