GConf
GConf is a "registry" system, a library applications can use to store key-value pairs persistently. It's written for GNOME, but it does not require GNOME or even X to work. Use outside GNOME is encouraged and will be supported.

no. It is absolutely necessary in this day of computing to have various options for the storage of configuration data...
Flat files
GConf is simply an abstract API, it can use flat files
as a backend.
Is this a good thing?
Shouldn't we encourage configuration to be stored in flat files whenever necessary?
