Hi moimael,

We did have this discussion when we first worked on the preferences. We
decided to go with a file in /.openshot based on the freedesktop.org
recommendations.

In our initial discussions it was pointed out that GCONF is very Gnome
orientated, there are other GTK based window managers which may not use
it, but most important of all, GCONF should not be used to save
application-state type settings such as window size (only user
preferences) - which would mean having another file somewhere for the
application-state settings.

Use gconf to save settings.

Bug description:
I am working on bug #493231 to save the window and gtkpane state. 

I saw that openshot use a custom xml file to save his settings (~/.openshot/config.xml).

I think we could use gconf to provide a more integrated and better way to save settings like the window size, window state, ...

What do you think ?

Thanks.
