-=== To run old applications ===
-Some old applications use GConf service to store configuration. This has been deprecated for many years but some applications were abandoned before they managed to upgrade to a newer dconf system. If you are running such application and getting an error like:
-<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
-GLib.GException: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information
-</syntaxhighlight>
-you need to add {{ic|gnome2.GConf}} to the list of dbus packages in your {{ic|configuration.nix}}:
-<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
-{
-  services.dbus.packages = with pkgs; [ gnome2.GConf ];
-}
-</syntaxhighlight>
-After applying the update restart your desktop session to refresh the user-specific dbus session.

+=== Running GConf-based applications ===
+There exist very old applications which use the deprecated GConf service to store configuration. If you are running such an application and are getting an error like:

+GLib.GException: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information

+you will need to add {{ic|gnome2.GConf}} to the list of dbus packages in your NixOS configuration:
+{{File|3={
+  services.dbus.packages = with pkgs; [ gnome2.GConf ];
+}|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}
+After rebuilding your configuration, restart your desktop session to have GConf take effect.
