Both gconf-editor and dconf-editor come up with the alias Configuration Editor, so I assume only one of them can show up in the menu of applications. dconf-editor does not show up even if gconf is not installed.. gsettings wants schema to be named. gconf-editor has schema displayed . dconf-editor does not. In gconf-editor Under desktop->gnome there are 13 items for configuration. In dconf-editor in the same place there are only two which are limited in the parameters one can set. Only a very minimal set of keys can be displayed to be manipulated in dconf-editor. The ones that gconf-editor shows that actually control things like mice and windows focus I can not find in dconf-editor.

I was hoping you had some clue you would share with me what is the overall philosophy that decides inclusion. But I guess I will have to ask them. -- ======================================================================= I don't want people to love me.
