GConf Cleaner =============== GConf Cleaner is a tool to clean your GConf database up that is possibly cluttered with unnecessary or invalid keys. You may want to keep a clean your GConf database. this tool might help you in this case. IMPORTANT: READ THIS BEFORE DOING =================================== On some applications, they put the GConf keys without schemas. in such case, your applications might be damaged after cleaning up. I'd recommend to save an registry in GConf from GConf Cleaner before actually cleaning up and if you see any weird behavior in your applications, restore your lost keys with gconftool-2 --load .
