X configuration paradigm, and a proposal

GConf may not depend on X. But GConf has so many dependencies that to
make X depend on GConf will break X cross-platform status: whenever
you want to bring X, you'll have to bring also GConf, and Bonobo, OAF,
GLib (that depends on X), etc.
This is why I think it can't be GConf.

Anyway, I'd like to know what do you guys think about a paradigm shift
in X configuration.
I think the way it is today makes the commodity HW market relation
with X very difficult.
