Hi,

  + I found your mails offensively ill researched. And there was 
    certainly no need for three of them. Remember, this is a developers 
    mailing list.

  + The GConf over the network support you talk is not acceptable to 
    most people because:

      a) The CORBA stream is unencrypted and unauthenticated. There is 
         nothing to stop someone connecting to your daemon and 
         maliciously changing settings.
      b) You need to disable the firewall on the machines in question.
      c) In some deployments there may be other firewalls between the 
         machine in question.

  + This has been disabled by default since GNOME 2.4. To enable it you 
    need to set GCONF_GLOBAL_LOCKS=1. You also need to enable ORBit's 
    TCP/IP support.

  + gnome-session shutting down the GConf daemon on logout will not 
    affect this functionality. The daemon will be restarted again on 
    demand.

	This is getting way off the original subject. Follow ups to
gconf-list gnome org please.

Cheers,
Mark.
