If you don't know that that exists, you will never be able to take
profit from it.

I think that if this is the official stance, than:
1) it should be documented in the help docs (if the user never knows
what he can do he will never try it)
2) gconf needs help... it's easy to clutter it beyond reasonable
usability:
[rms roque rms]$ du -s .gconf*
1340 .gconf
36 .gconfd
And yes, this is only from ever since I changed to gnome2 (because I did
rm -rf ~/.gnome* ~/.gconf*)
I don't really know how to do 2) but 1) is fairly easy...
