GConf is deprecated

[Fred]

GConf (gconf2) is legacy and deprecated.
Migrate to GSettings (dconf) instead.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This can't really be done for Banshee yet because there aren't gsettings-sharp
bindings yet.

Thanks for your bug report but please don't open a bug affecting lot of components like that:

- those are not the same issue, they are similar issues on different component. The launchpad "also affect" is meant to list several components for one bugs, e.g if a GNOME mounting issue needs changes to both gvfs/nautilus, it's not meant to drop all the "doesn't build" or "need to be ported" bugs in a ticket affecting half of the archive

- it will email spam every subscriber to any of the sources for any change to the bug, which means receiving tons of emails about projects you are not subscribed to, even if your bug is fixed

- it will timeout launchpad easily

- some of those are duplicated, and we already have a tag to list the bugs that need to be ported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=gnome3-gsettings

@Sebastien Bacher,
Well there is no easy way to file 50 different bugs against different packages on Launchpad.
