Exactly my point.  I was suggesting instead of losing the information by
deleting it, it would be worthwhile to "translate" the gconf commands to
the corresponding dconf commands.

But you *are* a user :), I was just suggesting with a little more effort
maybe you can figure out what the correct command is.  I think it would
be a worthy addition to Worg.  With your current change, we make the
Worg entry even more desktop dependent than before[1].

Hope my encourangements get you motivated to look into this.

Cheers,


Footnotes:

[1] Although gconf/dconf is used with Gnome, there are many other
    desktops that use them as backends.  After all most Gnome apps are
    rather popular.
