Elektra can easily be the infrastructure for storing this keys, with the benefit of not being just desktop-oriented, but cross-system oriented.
So KConfig and GConf will have (actually have already) an Elektra backend and there is no need to change applications. http://www.libelektra.org/presentation/img28.html http://www.libelektra.org/presentation/img29.html (these links are part of the presentation that starts on http://www.libelektra.org/presentation/img0.html) Elektra can also handle different types as Color, Font, Date etc, and can provide GConf-ready and KConfig-ready apps access to other softwares configurations.

Hi all, At the Desktop Architects Meeting 3, beginning of December last year, Waldo asked me if I could write a proposal for extending the XSETTINGS registry keys. I've written a small paper where I look at the Gtk+ and Qt settings and color palettes to find where they overlap, and where the common subsets need to be extended to be useful. The result is a proposed set of new settings keys for the XSETTINGS registry. The document is available here: http://www.pvv.org/~mariusbu/proposal.html Just a couple of points I want to clear up: * This document is intended as a basis for discussion. * The proposed keys do not cover every conceivable setting. The idea is to find a set of keys that will be useful when trying to integrate with the desktop environment. * The Qt toolkit does not have support for the XSETTINGS mechanism. I'm working on a prototype implementation for this (Disclaimer: This does not mean that Trolltech has committed to adding XSETTINGS support in Qt. It's just a prototype). * I'm not a Gtk+ expert. If you are, your input is very welcome! Cheers, Marius _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
