+ of a system to override the default settings or set keys to particular
+ values.</p>

+<title>Dconf</title>
+
+ <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
