<p>
Converting individual applications and their settings from GConf to
GSettings can be done at will. But desktop-wide settings like font or
theme settings often have consumers in multiple modules. Therefore,
some consideration has to go into making sure that all users of a setting
are converted to GSettings at the same time or that the program
responsible for configuring that setting continues to update the value in
both places.
</p>
<p>
It is always a good idea to have a look at how others have handled
similar problems before. An examplaric conversion can be found e.g.
in the <a class="ulink" href="http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-utils/log/?h=gsettings-tutorial" target="_top">gsettings-tutorial</a> branch of gnome-utils.
