+
+  <p><sys>Dconf</sys> is a configuration system. a key/value database designed
+  for storing desktop environment settings. In relation to <app>GSettings</app>,
+  <sys>Dconf</sys> is a back-end, as it provides database on platforms that do
+  not already have configuration storage systems.</p>
+
+<note>
+  <p><app>GSettings</app>/<sys>Dconf</sys> are the successor applications of
+  <app>GConf</app>, the previous system for storing application preferences used
