    I like to run a lean root filesystem - I have separate partitions for
    /home, /tmp, /usr and /var. I've noticed that I'm getting quite tight on
    space on my root fs, and looking around for why, I've noticed that
    /etc/gconf is taking up 24MB.

    Most of this appears to be schemas, which are not configuration data,
    but just describe the structure of config data.

    Why is this in /etc? Shouldn't it belong in /usr/share?

    Alternatively is there a way to pare down the schemas? Most of the space
    seems to be taken up with descriptions in multiple languages. Is there a
    way to strip out all but english?
