+.TH GCONF\-EDITOR 1 "12 June 2003"
+.SH NAME
+gconf\-editor \- an editor for the GConf configuration system
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B gconf\-editor
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBGConf\-Editor\fP is a tool used for editing the GConf configuration
+database.
+It might be useful when the proper configuration utility for some
+software provides no way of changing some option.
+.SH USAGE
+The main window consists of a tree showing the GConf configuration
+database hierarchy, a list of the keys available, and documentation
+for the selected key.
+
+Key values can be changed by either changing them directly in the
+list, or right clicking on them and selecting \fIEdit key\fP.
+Changes take immediate effect in running programs.
+New keys can be added by right clicking in the list and selecting
+\fINew key\fP.
+
+Bookmarks may be set for quick lookup of a key later.
+.SH NOTES
+This tool allows you to directly edit your configuration database.
+This is not the recommended way of setting desktop preferences.
+Use this tool at your own risk.
