Description

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.
