Have the common features in the config apps and the less common "power user" (I hate that term) features available through gconf. I've found the gconf editor to be user friendly, at least to me. Easy to find the config options for an app, documentation right there w/ the options. This wouldn't really help the issue of the complexity that each new option adds to writing the app, but is better from the user perspective of at least having the features they want. jason -- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" - Albert Einstein
