  | well oki i would agree if they change the way gconf operates now but i

besides that: if I'm not completely wrong you can write yyour own backends
to gconf so that it is not "space- and inode-wasting"
For example there is already a db-backend.

If you like text-files why don't write a backend which storese everything
in one huge (perhaps gzip-compressed) textfile?

just my 0,02$
