That would be the "gconf" database - the gnome answer to the
windows registry. You can "yum install gconf-editor" and
poke around in it graphically if you want to see it in
a more readable way than raw xml files. There is also
the command line gconftool-2 tool for manipulating it.

Most windows users seem to feel the same way about the windows registry
(especially when registry errors screw up their system :-).
