I keep my system pretty lean. I use aptitude and have all packages
properly marked as auto/noauto, so I should have no cruft left lying
around. I always purge packages and regularly check for removed packages
and purge them.
So the stuff in /etc/gconf is for packages installed. I can't reduce the
bloat by removing unwanted packages.
