Why is it not easy and obvious to transfer settings from one computer to another? One example is transferring Evolution’s mail filters. There seems to be no easy approach. I want to click `Backup Evolution’s Settings` and it generate a file which I can transfer to my second machine, click `Restore Evolution’s Settings`, and everything be working. Its the same version of Evolution, and the same distro – stuff like this should be *easy*. But no, I instead enter the misery of setting up stacks and stacks of mail filters manually. 🙁
Imagine then expanding that to the desktop. Take a dump of GConf and provide some glue to restore everything. Surely that was the idea?
