1 GConf extends the concept of a configuration registry. It provides
2 a simple way for applications and administrators to store data;
3 often GConf is used to store preferences for applications.
5 Some of the features of GConf are:
7 * Documentation for each configuration key, so that administrators
8 can better modify the value.
10 * Notifications to interested applications when configuration data
11 is changed. The notification service works across networks,
12 affecting all login sessions for a single user.
14 * Proper locking so that configuration data doesn't get corrupted
15 when accessed by multiple applications at the same time.
