Re: [orca-list] A last call out for help with Orca resolved

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Well see, I set gconf variables a long time ago when I was using gdm
to login.  I guess that stuck around for these latest changes with no
negative impact.  I never would have given gconf a thought.  

Since we're talking about gconf some, can someone tell me the actual
fate of gconf? is it going away or is it being religated to a minor
role or what?  Frankly, the simpler things can be and the fewer
different sub systems we have to depend on, the better the system
would run IMHO.
