+GConf is a configuration database system, functionally similar to the
+Windows registry and annoying in the same manner. It's being written
+for the GNOME desktop but does not require GNOME; configure should
+notice if GNOME is not installed and compile the basic GConf library anyway.
+
+Compilation on a clean Slackware 12.1 system additionally requires ORBit2
+to be installed first. A SlackBuild for ORBit2 is available from the
+SlackBuilds.org repository.
