Hallo Gil

Do you want to find all gconf schema strings?

If that is what you want to do, it is very easy with pogrep from the
Translate Toolkit:
http://translate.sourceforge.net/wiki/toolkit/pogrep

If you have all the files in directory/, something like this should give
you what you want:

  pogrep  --search=locations  "schemas.in"  directory  gconf

and the output will be written to the gconf directory, containing just
the strings that have "schemas.in" in the #: lines.  Then it is easy to
count the strings and words to work out the percentage:
pocount gconf
pocount directory

That should give the answer.  I'm quite interested to know this myself!
