[1] has the backend code plus polkit files.  But please NB that I
wouldn't like to see this being perpetuated a lot longer.

I'm not sure whether GNOME 3 already has a D-BUS backend for storing
system-wide configurations, similar to the obsolete
gconf-defaults-service. If so, it might make more sense to integrate
it there instead of having a separate backend for this.

In Ubuntu we already have a catch-all "ubuntu-system-service" package
[2] which provides a backend for setting system-wide proxy and
keyboard settings. These weren't accepted upstream back then, but
perhaps with GNOME 3 we should make another attempt to get this
functionality upstream and make it work for everyone else? If that's
still not desired, then depending on the fate of the language
selection bits the ls-dbus-backend bits might go into the upstream
control-center D-BUS backend or ubuntu-system-service.

Thanks,

Martin
