Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 I am working on this to get a ds-backup-client that works on 0.82, 0.84
 and if possible the build that Hamilton is working on.

 In an earlier discussion, we couldn't find how to read values from gconf
 from cron scripts -- this was clarified by Tomeu today, so we _can_ read
 gconf values sanely from cron. I'll be reworking the patch so that it uses
 gconftool-2...

 This will mean that the patches to schoolserver.py etc to store SN/UUID
 outside of gconf aren't needed. Unless they are now part of Sugar proper?
