Gconf is a system, where you have a daemon managing preferences for 
programs.

Programs use libgconf to connect easily to the daemon and handle 
preferences.

There is a gconftool-2 commmand-line tool to make it scriptable, and you 
could install gconf-editor to have a nice gui.

But users are not supposed to access their config directly like this : 
it's just because you have a very specific need that we point you to it.
