Thanks. GSettings: http://blogs.gnome.org/desrt/2009/06/09/some-nice-gsettings-facts/ And as you can see "many backends". GConf is a possible backend, but we'll soon switch to dconf: http://live.gnome.org/dconf This also means being able to use plists on MacOS X, or the registry on Windows. GSettings lives in glib, and dconf will use the dbus support in glib as well. So it will reduce the dependency stack of a lot of GNOME and GTK+ software (and probably make some XFCE and LXDE projects redundant when the only difference was the avoidance of GConf). -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
