Right, every remote configuration storage system needs some local enforcement mechanism[0]. Not only for laptops but also for when a smaller office loses its connection to the main site that hosts the LDAP across the street, etc. [0] this local mechanism could be in the GSettings backend, but if multiple backends want to implement this, it might be useful to use a common implementation somehow... -- Jan Claeys _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
