Right, so we should probably get this out of the way sooner rather than
later so that we can have a canonical answer somewhere to point people
to when they inevitably start flaming about it...

OMG ITS TEH WINDOWS REGISTRY!!!1!1II|! IF ANY APP WRITES A SINGLE BYTE
WRONG THEN ALL OF YOUR APPS WILL BREAK AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO LOG IN
ANY MORE AND YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO RUN KDE EXCEPT I'M GOING TO SWITCH TO
KDE NOW ANYWAY BECAUSE THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GNOME TAKING AWAY
CHOICE BECAUSE I SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE TO HAVE AN XML-BASED
PREFERENCES STORE EXCEPT COULD YOU PLEASE MAKE IT FASTER THAN IT IS NOW?
KTHXBYE!
