Perhaps... yet we've talked about just such an app since I started  
working on GNOME back in 2000, and possibly even before that, in which  
time I can vaguely remember about one effort in the distant past[1] to  
actually write one, which never really took off.

That would suggest to me that people generally aren't all that  
interested in having a tweakui app for GNOME, unless our user base now  
likes to tinker more than it used to... and if that's the case, it  
would be interesting to know why. [2]

Cheeri,

many people use that?
