That sounds really promising given that the gconf has a near equivelent
non-GNOME with the Windows registry.... but though Planner is hosted by
GNOME it shouldn't be under the "Imendio" i.e.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Imendio\Planner but IMHO (nothing against
Imendio here just thinking of all GNOME apps), it should be
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNOME\Planner\....

Can we get GNOME to "approve" the entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNOME
which cross-platform applications like Planner which need to have
whats curently in gconf inside Windows registry ?

...or this is already done anyway and I haven't noticed !
