I don't wanna support a config file which is intend to be editable by a
user and changable by a program. This is always a mess.

The hcid.conf will provide the default settings for new devices or
special settings that are not in the database. If a setting is in the
database, this one will be used. The hcid.conf can also contain features
which we don't provide over a D-Bus interface. I don't have any problems
if the Gnome utility don't provide support for all HCI config stuff. We
need to write a command line utility with full support anyway, because
the interface must be tested.

Regards

Marcel
