You're correct, I misunderstood gconf entirely. I'd still be
happier with a KDE-style prefs storage method since it's easier
to edit ini-style files with emacs or vi than it is to edit
"<stringvalue><categories><category
a="Holiday"
icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/evolution-data-server-1.2/category
_holiday_16.png" searchable="1"/><category
a="Ideas"
icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/evolution-data-server-1.2/category
_ideas_16.png""
etc.... but it's a lot better than the Windows registry.
Anyway, they both really need to find a way to compromise so fins
doesn't have to run kcontrol to mess with his KDE apps and I
don't have to deal with the blank screen of gnome-control-center
for my Gtk apps.
