I posted some code years ago that did an LDAP backend for gconfd-1. I'm
not sure how easy the patch would be to port to gconf 2 because IIRC
there is some marshalling and vtable stuff in the patch. I've since
moved on to scratching other itches (or the same itch another way).

Just a heads up as to how far back you might be looking in the archives.

Also be warned that it might be very hard to get your stuff into the
main gconf tree.
