and they have to be hand edited, or a gui tool has to be written for  
each one, because they all decide they want to use a different syntax.

Before you talk about how bad registries are, think about what gconf

Yup, you guessed it - it's a centralized application registry - with an  
API that allows gui tools to be easily written, including generic tools  
like gconf-editor.
