[desktop-discuss] Relationship between GConf and RBAC when setting mandatory preferences?

[Jeff Cai]

I think GConf is mainly used by desktop applications. Currently, it
seems independent of RBAC.

The gconf changes usually can be valid only after restarting the
application. This is the main reason that the Guide suggests all users
are logged out and avoid system inconsistence.
