Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, I hadn't seen Olafur's question until today 
since I'm only subscribed to gconf-list.

APOC's open sourcing is still in progress, unfortunately, and I can't 
say for certain when it will be done. Architecture wise, there's a Java 
agent which is responsible for making the central data available on a 
given desktop machine and keeping it up to date, plus a number of 
application adapters to inject said data into the various supported 
configuration systems. In the case of GConf, this is done through an 
extra backend written in C.

Well, first it actually needs to be in OpenSolaris ;-) but we're working 
on it.
