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

So what? It still works, does it not?

Title:
  [Upstream] Drop gconf dependency, port to gsettings

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

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.
