Re: [Inkscape-devel] cruft in prefs

Heh, or maybe just use GConf ;)

There was a discussion earlier about this. I was a big proponent of it. In fact it was one of the reasons I refactored prefs handling into a single object and kept the XML implementation details of Inkscape::Preferences inaccessible from its public interface. We decided against it because it would cause Inkscape to have two sets of preferences for people who use both KDE and Gnome (in Gnome it would use GConf, but in KDE it would fall back to a different set of preferences from the XML file). If you can come up with a good idea how to handle this case, we might reconsider it.
