gconf relative to other GNOME config API's

[Colm Smyth <Colm Smyth ireland sun com>]

Hi,

GNOME already has two configuration API's which gconf is capable
of replacing: gnome-config and gnome-mime-info. It is possible
to re-write these API's in terms of GConf if required for
backward compatability.

The gnome-mime-info keys include fm-open, fm-view, fm-ascii-open
which are intended to specify file-management bindings. Nautilus
appears to be using GConf directly.

Should we attempt to support/migrate package owners who have
used gnome-config or gnome-mime-info?

Colm.
