I hope this way it's more clear :)

freax lort:~/cvs/own/gconf-3 $ touch THIS_IS_NOT_GCONF_3
freax lort:~/cvs/own/gconf-3 $ cvs add THIS_IS_NOT_GCONF_3
freax lort:~/cvs/own/gconf-3 $ cvs commit

(done, btw)

Perhaps could the KDE, OpenOffice.org, Mozilla, etc people now post
their list of requirements? :-)

I can't guess that list for them since I'm just a user of their
softwares. Not really a (application) developer. I do develop GNOME
applications. So I have an idea of the requirements for that. And IMHO
has GConf, at this moment, all (most of) the required features for GNOME
application development.
