That would prevent you from installing both programs depending on libGConf1 and (future) libGConf2 at the same time because of conflicting files. I think the dependency on libGConf1 can be dropped when the GConf programs (at least gconftool) are linked statically against libgconf. Not nice, but AFAICS it would break the loop. If there will be a future release of libGConf2, I *STRONGLY* believe that GConf interface will be rewritten too, as well as the API. So far (during these several years) I've never seen any software that has a rewritten library yet keeps the API as well as the user interface program constant across versions. Abel
