If that piece of XML need to be stored in gconf > it's just fine. It's not - one of the selling points of gconf was it was "better" than the windows registry because it used a text backend and people could fix stuff manually using their preferred text editor when they had to. (and BTW I didn't find those files because I wanted to shame anyone but because I had to perform such a manual fix myself). People *explicitely* asked for something that was not accessed using only some special APIS ie gconf is *not* a black-box storage where you put stuff in random format just because it's convenient. That piece of XML is largely un-editable be it in vi, emacs or even gconf-editor. It is a problem (_now_). Cheers, -- Nicolas Mailhot
