Okay, I've hacked together a very rough patch that will do negative caching on GConf entries. This means if it doesn't find a key in cache that should've been covered by a previous add_dir, it will consider that authoritative and not do a roundtrip to the server. This drastically reduces the total number of roundtrips during Gnome login. This is definitely not intended for inclusion, I'm just looking for feedback.
If the user later adds a key, will the client-side cache automatically get updated ? Or will this negative caching hide the newly added value ? Matthias
