It could be argued that gtk with no way to store settings is a little useless. I'm in favour of having the core graphics testable so I'm not 100% convinced of your argument above. It certainly goes against the viewpoint that came out of the TSC meetings so we need further discussion. In the meantime, replacing gconf-dbus with gconf would seem to move us closer to where we want to be overall. > Let's get your distro set merged and then improve on it.
