"D-Conf generated a long discussion on FreeDesktop.org's XDG mailling 
list. Its objective is to standarize configuration across desktop 
frameworks like Gnome and KDE, so no focus is being devoted to global 
non-desktop system configurations.

It was very difficult to find the D-Conf website (not found in the end), 
and seems that all is available is that XDG discussion, and a wiki page 
containing analisys of what is required, and development directions. 
Nothing else.

Conclusion: D-Conf is vaporware. "

I hope you are right and D-conf is making a difference, that seems to be 
debatable however.  Btw by all means do not be nice on my account, I enjoy 
raw personality :).

Cheers,
Shane
