    Description:


    This update for gconf2 modifies gconftool to use fdatasync() instead of
    fsync(), as the latter comes with a significant performance penalty.
    Additionally, when the tool detects that the operating system is being
    installed, explicit calls to data synchronization functions are skipped.
