This in a way seems like something I read about for using ldap as an inventory management system. So, noticing firefox uses gconf at runtime, this could mean then that firefox could ask gconf to get configuration preferences for the current user from anywhere on the network, using ldap, which would be useful for diskless clients, for example?
