How to find out? Do you refer to
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Tinderbox#List_of_registered_Tinderboxes
? What is "universally"? I doubt that LibreOffice currently stores its
settings also in GConf under MS Windows.

The machine that the TDF binaries are build on is relevant. CCing Caolan
who should be aware of their setup.

RHEL-6 is the current baseline, any work in the area needs to be able to
build and work on RHEL-6. Don't think anyone is going to work on this on
the near future.

I was reading media coverage about the LibreOffice 4.1 release today and
it says that Linux now uses harfbuzz. Harfbuzz is too new to be in RHEL
6 right?

LibreOffice isn't stuck with 2010 technology for the next 2-5 years, is
it?

we bundle harfbuzz into LibreOffice for that case, but we try and keep

Anyway, there is a BIG difference between harfbuzz, which is used for
text layouting, and gconf/gsettings, which is used to get 2 or 3 keys
from the gnome configuration.

Another note: gsettings is part of gio, which is itself (source-wise) a
part of glib2. There is no way we are going to bundle glib2, ever.

No. Only until the time we switch our baseline to something that
supports gsettings.

So what? It still works, does it not?

Apparently it doesnt, at least on halfway recent system all these conf
keys are unused. And the original intend of i#20364 i#20369 seems
questionable from the start at least.

Title:
  disable gconf for LibreOffice 5.1/x-series

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  Won't Fix
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  libreoffice-core and libreoffice-gnome are two of the last few
  packages in the default Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME installs with a
  dependency on gconf.

  I think some of the code that uses gconf is wrong as neither GNOME nor
  Unity set values any more there for things like default mail handler,
  font and proxy settings, and lockdown settings.

  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/shell/source/backends/gconfbe/gconfaccess.cxx

  Even though GTK3 provides an interface to access gsettings directly
  through GTK, it's still possible to call out to gsettings manually via
  the command line interface.
