I think this is definitely more of the root problem.  It seems very
inefficient to launch one application to then launch the application you
really want to use.  Except for the first time you are configuring the
desktop on a new install, how often are you in tweaking more than one
setting at a time?  The first time configuration problem should really
be handled by gnome providing an, export/import personal desktop
settings, utility.
