AFAIK there is no such thing and there currently is no way to
accomplish, what you have in mind.

Such settings only would be respected by Gnome2 applications, as GConf
stores Gnome2 settings. This will (very likely) not/never be respected
by Mozilla, Firebird, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror, etc.

There are currently plans for open desktop settings sharing those values
across desktops and applications.


To get you working: What browser are you using? You will have to set
those settings in the respective browser. Mozilla cannot do this on Unix
systems (known bug, limitation due to security reasons), Opera has such
option.
