ever. It fixes many bugs, and adds some features missing in previous FreeBSD ports. To help users upgrade from GNOME 2.4, we have constructed an upgrade FAQ at: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq26.html Please read it carefully. GNOME 2.6 packages are also available for all supported i386 versions of FreeBSD at: http://www.marcuscom.com/tinderbox/ The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like the thank the following users for their wonderful testing and patching efforts. We would especially like to thank Franz Klammer <klammer@webonaut.com> for his wonderful new splash screen. Without these people, our team, and our team alumni, GNOME on FreeBSD would not be possible.

GConf extends the concept of a configuration registry. It provides
|
|
a simple way for applications and administrators to store data;
|
|
often GConf is used to store preferences for applications.
|
|
|
|
Some of the features of GConf are:
|
|
GConf provides:
|
|
|
|
* Documentation for each configuration key, so that administrators
|
|
can better modify the value.
|
|
|
|
* Notifications to interested applications when configuration data
|
|
is changed. The notification service works across networks,
|
|
affecting all login sessions for a single user.
|
|
|
|
* Proper locking so that configuration data doesn't get corrupted
|
|
when accessed by multiple applications at the same time.
