Is there a way to launch gconfd to apply only to one program? The Metacity test suite needs to see whether various keystrokes work for a given binding, but I don’t want to change them in the actual host environment!

If you used gconf-dbus (is this the default yet?), you could change the dbus environment variables, launch another dbus daemon, launch another gconfd that you’ve built to look in a different prefix, and use that? I think?

If your config file /etc/gconf/2/path contains
include $(ENV_MANDATORY_PATH)
you can set the environment variable $MANDATORY_PATH and it should look in the directory $MANDATORY_PATH to store the configuration.
(see gconf/gconf-internals.c:741)
But I did not manage to get it work correctly. If you do, let me know.
