LDAP backend anyone?

["Shahms E. King" <shahms shahms com>]

I was thinking about implementing Netscape roaming profiles in Galeon
(because they're wonderful!) and it occurred to me that this
functionality could be gained for free were I to write a LDAP backend
for GConf instead.  so, now I've got 3 questions: 

        1. is anyone working on this? 
        2. would there be any interest in this?
        3. since I haven't yet looked at actually doing this, how
           gracefully does GConf handle backend stuff? say, if the LDAP
           server is unavailable will it be able to gracefully fall back
           to using a local store?
    
Thanks,
