DConf Database Suggestion

[Kristof Vansant]

Looks like it also has ldap support :D
To bad that the documentation on http://www.gnome-db.org/docs/ is down
at the moment. But I wonder how it handles threads and if it supports
rollbacks when the backend supports it. 
Also do I wonder how big the memory usage is and how fast it is.
