True story: "gconfig" removed root folder...

I have managed to reproduce bug: make gconfig, go to the '/' directory,
type 'root' as file and ... you get a 'root' file. The 'root' directory is
destroyed !

I am preparing a patch for gconf so that it can be protected against this bug.
Perhaps, you should protect 'conf_write(fn)', too ?
