Hrm...I maybe on crack but....

	Where do non-component [non-bonobo] based apps fit into this?

If we start using bonobo-config, which *isn't* a wrapper for gconf [which I assume
from the discussion], for component based apps and GConf for non-component based
apps [which we have no alternative - except using CORBA when we don't really need] 
then we have a big, ugly mess...

I agree that it would be good to have a component/CORBA wrapper around GConf but 
I'm not sure if introducing a seperate configuration mechanism is good for GNOME?
