As much as I've experienced, GConf is heavily used for single options, 
and most applications apply them in real-time then, which is very cool 
in Gnome2. Migrating to such a behaviour should be worth the effort I 
guess.
On the other hand, it might be more tricky to insert lists/arrays of 
undefined length in gconf, like accounts, identities, 
mailbox-settings...

Therefor a split into pure preferences and user-data would be an idea 
as well, with seperated menus, and such shrinked prefs in the 
Edit-menu. But I guess it would be more of a goal for the next major 
release (v2.2 ?).

Warning: I might not know what I'm talking about. :)

Darko
