What the GConf people forgot is XML *can* be used to create human-readable and editable files (see fontconfig) but this requires some developer love to be true. It's especially sad to see an app like evolution (which is supposed to be coded by elite Gnome people) abuse gconf files in so many ways they're almost as bad as a serialised binary blobs. (take a look at .gconf/apps/evolution/mail/%gconf.xml if you don't know what I'm talking about). Cheers, -- Nicolas Mailhot
