------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
 Our advanced, gconf-only settings are very hard to discover for both
 advanced users and system administrators ("deployments"). They are not
 documented anywhere. To discover them, a user / administrator needs to
 1. suspect that Sugar offers more settings than those exposed in the UI
 2. find out that Sugar uses GConf-2 to save all settings
 3. a) learn how to use gconftool-2 to list all entries and query the
 documentation for every single one that sounds interesting or
    b) locate the GConf schema files.
