That's code that gets compiled into the application and it basically just 
means that the applications determines the default at runtime. Our 
meta-format essentially describes the application settings used by the 
application, but the application doesn't use this information at runtime, 
it's already incorporated in the application.

I believe that this is different with GConf, can anyone confirm / deny that?

The information in the meta-format can of course be used by a config-editor or 
something like that, but I don't expect those to do anything useful with the 
C++ parts.

Cheers,
Waldo
