Cool, I'll take a look at this later this week. From what I saw, it
shouldn't be that hard to do a recursive all_entries. One thing I'm
concerned about is it being possible to do a local DoS on gconfd by
doing a huge recursive all_entries (for instance, on "/"). I don't know
if that's a valid concern, I'll have to check it out when I actually
start coding.

Also, should I update the wiki page to lie less? ;)
