{{man warn| Warning |The contents of this section is outside the scope of interest of a general user of GRAMPS. If you proceed with tweaking the options on the low level you may damage your GRAMPS installation. Be careful. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!}}
By default, GRAMPS stores its settings using gconf2 system. All the settings used in this version of GRAMPS are stored in subdirectories under ''/apps/gramps/'' in the gconf2 namespace. Accessing the keys can be done either using ''<pre>gconftool-2'' </pre> command line tool, or the ''<pre>gconf-editor'' </pre> GUI tool.
All keys are documented, and the notification mechanisms are used as appropriate. Therefore, updating keys from outside of GRAMPS should lead to updating GRAMPS in real time, without necessarily restarting it.
