[Bug 1550896] Re: Move GConf depends to a seperate binary

[Tim]

Removing gconf seems the best option to me, the gconf url-handlers won't
work on any modern DE/apps. The proxy code pulls settings from gsettings
first, so that should be fine also.  The other options mentioned would
seem a waste of time for something that will rarely be used.

Uploaded (with one minor change). Thanks!

Title:
  Move GConf depends to a seperate binary

Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in pidgin package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently, gconf on pidgin is only used to retrieve proxy settings
  from GNOME. It puts an hard depends on gconf, even if pidgin is used
  on a non-gnome environment. Also, it seems that this feature may be
  broken (see LP #878032 and https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/13867).

  The included debdiff move away the gconf files to a pidgin-gnome
  binary, so people not using GNOME can remove the gconf depends.
