Hi! OK, lets face on our problems again: * We want to get rid of gconf for 3.0 because we want API/ABI-compatibility over the whole 3.0 cycle which can be long. Gconf is (more or less) unmaintained at the moment. If we keep it for 3.0 things would likely get worse. * It is definitly important to keep the user settings over the transition. So at least any setting that is mentioned in a schema file has to be migrated (others are buggy, right?). I cannot say how to do this but I think it is possible. * We can only fix core-GNOME stuff. Of course 3rd party apps will still require gconf sometimes and distros will have to keep it around anyway (they even keep gtk+-1.2...) I hope the dconf/GSettings guys will come up with some migration strategy because the are likely the only ones that know about technical details. Regards, Johannes
