I'd like to see a rationale and an explanation of how this data is
stored peristently. I'm not sure I like the gconf idea. Just recall
the MS Windows' registry. One thing I _really_ like about *nix systems
is the ability to use my text editor to configure everything. I also
like including comments so that I can remember why I did a certain
thing or some syntax or option stuff so I don't have to pour through
the docs next time.
