Disadvantages:

    - a C API, which needs to be wrapped for all scripting languages
    - it not a standard interface, as opposed to the PropertyBag/Event
source interface:
        * no code reuse
        * you have to learn two different interface (bonobo and gconf)
    - not able to handle CORBA_any
    - exposes some backend internals, namely the "schema" thing.

    none of the above disadvantages ;-)
