Hi Julian, just to be clear, there are no configuration/preference
settings in the Me TV database, it's all in GConf.  However, I
understand the confusion here because scheduled recordings could be
considered preferences.  The GConf documentation [0] makes it pretty
clear that GConf should not be used to store important application
data.

  "Do not store anything but preferences in GConf. Documents, session
state, random data blobs do not belong in GConf. Stuff breaks if you
do this."

I consider scheduled recordings not to be preferences.  This backed up
by the GConf people, "THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT IT'S EVEN POSSIBLE TO
WRITE TO THE GCONF DATABASE".  Scheduled recordings fall into the
essential data category.

Please let me know if I've missed something.
