       <application>dconf</application> uses several database files in GVDB binary format, one database per file.
       A dconf profile consists of a single file, in plain text format, which contains a list of database files in GVDB format.
       All dconf profiles are stored in the <filename class='directory'>/etc/dconf/profile</filename> folder.
