        <para>For example, a config path of "/myapp/toolbox/showit"
        could be used to retrieve the setting for whether 'myapp'
        should display its toolbox or not.  In this example "myapp" is

        <filename>~/.gnome</filename> directory), "toolbox" is the
        section and "showit" is the key.</para>

        <para>If you want to access an absolute file instead of a

        configuration file located in
        <filename>/gnome/var/myconfig</filename> you need to use this

        implications are stored and retrieved using the "private"
        versions of the gnome-config routines, and the data for these
        items is stored in files under the ~user/.gnome_private

<formalpara>
  <title>How Config Items are Read</title>

</formalpara>
<para>
    GNOME has a versatile method of storing config items.  When a
    config item is written by a program, it is written to a file under
    the <filename>~/.gnome</filename> hierarchy.  However, when config
    items are read, the process is a little more complicated.  There
    are a number of places that are searched.  If the config item is
    not found in one, then the next place is checked, finally falling
    back to the default value provided by the application.  The
    locations are as follows:
    <itemizedlist>
      <listitem><para><filename>$(sysconfdir)/gnome/config-override</filename>
        - a system administrator would put config items in this directory
        that they don't want to be configurable.</para></listitem>
      <listitem><para><filename>~/.gnome</filename> - this is where the
        user's config items are written to and is the next place that is
        searched</para></listitem>
      <listitem><para><filename>$(sysconfdir)/gnome/config</filename>
        - this directory would hold system wide default configuration values.
        </para></listitem>
    </itemizedlist>
  </para>

  <para>
    Possible uses for this are setting system wide defaults such as
    proxy servers for the system (either using
    <filename>config-override</filename> to enforce such a policy or
    the <filename>config</filename> directory to suggest such a
    default).  It is also possible to configure the application
    through its graphical interface, and then copy the configuration
    file accross to the appropriate system-wide directory.
    The <filename>config-override</filename> directory should be used
    sparingly, as it could annoy or confuse some users.  Note also
    that some applications will not read the config items every time
    they are needed, so putting defaults into the
    <filename>config-override</filename> directory will not always
    completely enforce a setting.
</para>


<para>There are two types of routines</para> 

<para>FIXME: Finish this.  Explain the different types of routines,
explain the _private versions, explain the vector use, etc</para>
