The problem with this is that it's harder to edit in a regular browser,
not much hard but still, somewhat harder.
Also, it's quite nice to be able to override with regular environment
variables. I guess this can be done no matter..
About using GConf, imho it's actually not a totally bad idea. It is
thought of as being for the entire system (will never happend though).
Currently it has some weird deps (like gnome-libs->gtk+->X11) which is
no good.
It does not store it's configuration in a binary database, it's in
xml-files in /etc/gconf. Anyway, I'm more in favor of something that's
easily editable in a normal text editor.
