11 // NAME : configuration
17 // DESCRIPTION : Handle configurational parameters for the application.
18 // Many applications need some permanently stored configurational
19 // data. The information is usually stored in two places: A system-
20 // wide configuration file and a configuration file per user.
21 // The content of the configuration file is in XML format.
22 // The configuration base class takes care of finding the configuration
23 // files, e.g. in /etc/app.conf or in /usr/loca/etc/app.conf
24 // The config files are parsed with the gnome XML parser and a
25 // framework is provided to find configurational items.
29 // LAST MODIFIED : Nov 19, 2007
