Really, once you have a standard Gconf doesn't need gnome. The reverse is true however. The XML format also lets you work with prefences using styles and XML XSLT and the like which is very powerful when working with a large number of systems. Really nobody has scratched the surface of what it can do. You don't have to care about the XML either, one of the crazier gconf demos from a long time ago was an email interface to gconf settings -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
