+ <title>Introduction</title>
+ <para>The GNOME Desktop and many applications use <application>GConf</application> to store user preferences and system configuration data. <application>GConf</application> provides a central storage location for preferences, simplifying configuration management for users and system administrators. More information about <application>GConf</application> can be found in the <ulink url="ghelp:system-admin-guide#gconf-0">GNOME System Administrator's Guide</ulink>.</para>
+ <para><application>Configuration Editor</application> allows users to modify their preferences for the entire GNOME Desktop and any applications which use <application>GConf</application>. Additionally, system administrators can use <application>Configuration Editor</application> to set default and mandatory settings which will affect all users.</para>
+ <para>Preferences are stored in <application>GConf</application> in a hierarchy of keys. Each key has an associated value which specifies your setting for that preference. For instance, the key <literal>/apps/glines/preferences/ball_theme</literal> stores which theme you use in the game <application>Five or More</application>.</para>
+ <caution><para><application>Configuration Editor</application> enables you to modify your configuration source directly. If you are not an experienced user, do not use <application>Configuration Editor</application> to set preferences for the GNOME Desktop. Instead, use the preference tools in the GNOME Desktop. For information about how to use preference tools, see the latest version of the <ulink url="ghelp:user-guide">GNOME Desktop User Guide</ulink> for your platform.</para></caution>
