In general, you will probably get more detailed answers to gconf specific questions on the gconf list. However to answer your question: mtime and muser are the time and user who last modified the value. GConf will keep these values up to date (if they exist, which is not compulsory), but it doesn't do anything with them as far as checking things. If you are interested in the code that works with these values, it is in gconf/backends/markup-tree.c and gconf/backends/xml-entry.c. They are accessible in programs, but otherwise ignored. Short answer: you can essentially ignore them. :-) Cheers, Malcolm _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
