  Gconf is quite long from Windows registry. Starting on the issue that
  it is not a binary-single file but XML little tiny files.

  Other different issue is that I think that in benefit of HIG, some
  projects are abusing of gconf-editor and putting too many options only
  available through there. But you know, life is like a pendulum.

  Galeon development is not stalled at all. And lead developer leave to
  make epiphany browser (available as epiphany-browser package). It's
  even more HIG compliance, so you'll see less options in it.
