Then, gconf would need to be installed in KDE and KDE needs to understand and track gconf API and all applications that are not KDE and not Gnome apps like Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice would have to understand and track gconf API as well.
I hope you can prove me wrong but I think that scenario is, to say it very mildly, unlikely. And even if someone accepted the burden to develop the patches, it would be very time-consuming to maintain them. After all, KDE, Gnome, Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, etc change rapidly and I seriously doubt such patches will be accepted upstream. But I don't want to discourage you to implement it, even if it turns out to be impractical for one reason or another, it would be worth the try and it would be good to know the reasons. -- Kubuntu setting default components don't affect gnome/gtk apps https://launchpad.net/bugs/52670 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
