Currently you need both. As a rule of thumb, Gnome2-era applications will be using gconf (some might keep using it for years to come,qq so gconf isn't going away), while most recent Gnome3-era applications already migrated, or are in the process of migration to dconf (note that even the base Gnome3 didn't yet fully moved to dconf as of Gnome 3.2) m. -- Michal Varga, Stonehenge (Gmail account)
