Homepage: http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/
Description-en: GNOME configuration database system (D-Bus service)
GConf is a configuration database system for storing application
preferences. It supports default or mandatory settings set by the
administrator, and changes to the database are instantly applied to all
running applications. It is written for the GNOME desktop but doesn't
require it.
.
This package contains the D-Bus enabled daemon that is used internally
by the GConf library to access configuration data. It is an internal
implementation of gconf used to work around multiarch-related upgrade
problems, and will eventually be merged back into gconf-service.
