You said that gconf is only for configuration purpose. Are you a gconf
developer ?  Is there any source that confirm that ?

Well, it's a rather accepted practice. See the first line on 

http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/

<quote>GConf is a system for storing application preferences. It is
intended for user preferences; not configuration of something like
Apache, or arbitrary data storage.</quote>

Data storage could be designed differently. Though many apps use just
files and it's fine, there are not big advantages specialized storage
could bring you. Some apps abuse GConf indeed for example for storing
passwords or other information not related to configuration directly.
