Hi David and Petr,
as you can see below Debian will stop to support gconf in the not so
distant future. The Debian Med team is maintaining gwyddion in Debian
but we do not have any capacity to do the porting work.
Since I guess the issue is not only relevant for Debian but also for
other distributions which will probably not provide gconf as well, I'd
like to forward the issue to you and hope that the links below will give
you sufficient documentation to get rid of gconf in gwyddion.
Kind regards and thanks for providing gwyddion as Free Software
Andreas.
