God bless gconf creators…

They had to feel really down to give the birth to such useless and obscure crap like gconf.
They said it was created to help administrators…I wonder if they asked firstly to some administrators if they would prefer plain clean text files instead of such rubbish.

As mentioned, the default for most systems is to show the contents of the ~/Desktop directory as icons on the desktop. However, if you rmdir this directory, Nautilus(?) will switch to showing your whole home directory as icons on the desktop. Re-creating the directory will not revert back to the default behavior, even if the gconf key /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir is false. See Bugzilla #251301, can anyone shed more light on this?

I have to say that there is gconf-cleaner released
code.google.com/p/gconf-cleaner/
the sole purpose is to clean waste entries of gconf-registry
Why do we need gconf?it sucks ? and I love Gnome too.
