GConf attempts to leapfrog the registry concept. It's a library which provides
a simple configuration data storage interface to applications, and also an
architecture that tries to make things easy for system administrators.
Here are some of the features of GConf:
* Replaceable backend architecture.
* Configuration key documentation. Applications can install documentation
along with their configuration data, explaining the possible settings and
the effect of each configuration key.
* Data change notification service. If configuration data is changed, all
interested applications are notified. The notification service works
across the network, affecting all login sessions for a single user.
* The client API is very abstract.
* GConf does proper locking so that the configuration data doesn't get
corrupted when multiple applications try to use it.
