Hi Halim,

        From my point of view, what it is left in your reasoning is that migrate to something more formal 
like the current situation about settings management is profitable for the spread of Orca in any 
Freedesktop-like environment.

        Even if somebody wants to migrate Orca to KDE (i.e.) he will faced the same problem that Javier is 
trying to resolve. Put order in setting management in Orca.

        And, in short run, we need to support Gsettings for the inclusion in GNOME 3.0 (I think that anybody 
wants to lost Orca's support in GNOME). After that, maybe freedesktop release a solution to support GSettings 
with dconf over d-bus or another standard (freedesktop compliant) settings systems will released.

        As Luke Yelavich said, now is time for gnome after Orca should move to other freedesktop environments.

        I expect that I give some light about this topic.

Cheers,
