I'm sure that for the packages who are working on platforms where GConf is present will actually *want* to use the GConf support - I myself even have GConf installed and running even though my desktop is purely xfce - I just have a few gnome apps that xfce cannot replace yet - and I find them too valuable to remove them (file-roller is a good example). I really don't see the problem here - as long as autodetection works (okay I admit that there should be a --disable-gconf option) there is nothing wrong with with autoconf enabling gconf support if it detects gconf present. "which is not necessarilly what is suitable for all users." yes DUH, a packager needs to think for himself too, and read the docs and the release notes. This is hardly an issue of defaults - more one of documentation.
