You could lump the whole thing into one string and store that, with some formatting so as to be able to tell the pieces apart. That formatting might be xml, if you are so inclined (evolution does that for accounts, for example); gconf is sub-stellar at handling structured data, so you need to do something in this spirit, anyways.
