<p>
Converting individual applications and their settings from GConf to
GSettings can be done at will. But desktop-wide settings like font or
theme settings often have consumers in multiple modules. Therefore,
some consideration has to go into making sure that all users of a setting
are converted to GSettings at the same time or that the program
responsible for configuring that setting continues to update the value in
both places.

<p>
It is always a good idea to have a look at how others have handled
similar problems before.
