Totally, and GConf vs. Kconf (or whatever it's called now). The fact
that there are seporate frontends is a really good thing. There's also
an EFL frontend written for a mobile phone. Writing a frontend is pretty
easy as all the logic is in the backend. A simple wxWidgets frontend is
a couple of days work.
