39 <title>Description</title>
42 The <command>dconf-service</command> program provides the <emphasis>ca.desrt.dconf</emphasis> name on the
43 session or system bus. Users or administrators should never need to start the service, as it will be
44 automatically started by
45 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dbus-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
46 whenever an application tries to write settings.
50 Reading values from the dconf database does not involve the service; it is only needed for writes. The
51 service is stateless and can exit freely at any time (and is therefore robust against crashes).
