You never heard of gsettings before since using it is about as complex
as editing a windows registry.  The gsettings along with dconf-editor
controls the configuration on graphical user interface systems other
configuration files you might find in certain directories does not.  In
the case of ubuntu 19.10 orca got strait jacketed into gsettings.  This
was not the case in earlier ubuntu versions though.
