The discussion on the GConf list was about a WRAPPER. This is a REIMPLEMENTATION.

Wrapper does this.

Code reuse != reimplementation of existing code, code cleanup is
debatable (e.g. much of GConf code is really ugly due to error
handling which I can't find in your code anywhere - so that hardly
counts as a cleanup "gee I removed needed functionality, look code is
simpler").

Wrapper does all those.

Have you done that? No.
