+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para>
+      The <command>dconf-service</command> program provides the <emphasis>ca.desrt.dconf</emphasis> name on the
+      session or system bus. Users or administrators should never need to start the service, as it will be
+      automatically started by
+      <citerefentry><refentrytitle>dbus-daemon</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+      whenever an application tries to write settings.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      Reading values from the dconf database does not involve the service; it is only needed for writes. The
+      service is stateless and can exit freely at any time (and is therefore robust against crashes).
