Desktop (GConf?): support for per-system user settings

[Sergey Udaltsov <sergey udaltsov gmail com>]

Hi all

Andreas raised an interesting question, regarding the gconf settings
(sure, personal user settings) which are bound to the system in some
way (for users using same net-mounted $HOME on different systems):
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150435

So, here is the question: does GNOME have some unified way/policy of
keeping the settings which are essentially per-system? If users share
$HOME between different systems - currently gconf exposes the same
tree of configuration parameters, whatsoever. I think it is GConf
responsibility - to provide "global" and "per-system" settings
separately.

What do you think, people? Any comments would be welcome.

PS I know, there is always a hackish way - but GNOME always tryies to
do things the right way, doesn't it?:)
