GConf today (please correct me if I misunderstand this) is setup to have a fixed set of mandatory and read-only (default) key/values that are setup and maintained external to GConf. A well behaved GConf client, no matter how privileged, can not alter a mandatory key nor create new ones, nor do so for the read-only default set. A client can only create new keys (not in the mandatory set) or create new current values for read-only keys (i.e. not using the default value). Adding new mandatory keys, or changing the value of a mandatory or default key must be done off-line. Any thoughts on changing this to allow a privileged client to use the GConf calls to update a key/ value that is mandatory or read-only to unprivileged (normal) users/apps? -jrg
