While decoupling may be better from a short-term workaround 
perspective it's very bad longterm-wise. We need apps to learn to 
couple effectively, redgardless of the DE and this won't be done by 
encouraging return to massive settings duplication we had before (and 
still have on the non-gnome world).

I personnaly strongly feel the whole gconf adventure has strayed very 
far from it's original stated goals, and that on the whole gconf keys 
are rotting almost as fast as the worst dommsayers predicted they 
would. However the fact is I can not stand anymore apps that do not 
pick the general defaults (even if they provide numerous and 
convenient ways to set them again on a per-app basis). This btw 
includes most mz apps right now.

Cheers,
