Well, you’re talking about Windows, right? Because none of these claims

are still editable, and sqlite/bdb/gvdb files which are not, for
performance reasons, but for which simple text frontends exist.

Aaaaah yes of course. Because gconftool(1) and gsettings(1) never worked
at all.

Dunno. In your ~/.config and ~/.local directories maybe?
