Sorry for the misinformation.

And thank you for pointing this out. My own attempts to using gconf on 
Windows (just a call to gconf_client_get_default) were not successful 
and I could not find any hints on how to use it on windows. I have since 
resorted to using the registry, but I might give it another try. Anyway, 
it is nice to know that gconf /is/ cross-platform!
