Subject: gconf terribly wastes /etc space

Package: gconf
Version: 1.0.9-7
Severity: serious

Hi,

gconf terribly wastes disk- and backupspace in /etc with 
default files that definitely do not belong in /etc. On 
my system /etc/gconf became 36 MB large, which is sort of sick. 
Whoever puts 36 MB of default files in /etc didn't understand the unix
file system structure.

These things belong to /usr/share or /usr/lib.

Interestingly the same problem was reported almost two years ago 
(Bug 227726), but completely ignored. 


Please stop dumping megabytes of default files into /etc.

Hadmut
