Gconf is to be the _only_ configuration backend/library in Gnome 2.0
since development for 1.4 started. You post 2 announcements on (which ?)
mailing lists, and you replace a component that's already part of the
platform with one you've written...

I have CVS write access, I think I can start making my changes to
libgnome to use NeXT-like wrappers for applications, like I posted in 2
different mails already... Right...

I reckon you need a lot more diplomacy and convincing to sneak in
bonobo-config in there.
