I honestly do *not* consider this a problem.

There was no way within Evolution 1.2.x (that is, using the GUI) to let
signatures point to other files -- as it is in 1.4.x versions. Thus, the
user decided willingly to trick out Evo and use undocumented features.

Any user, who did so, should still know that he tricked on Evo even
after upgrade.

The switch to GConf is more or less just a cosmetic issue. Does it
really make so much difference, if a particular setting is stored in a
XML file under ~/evolution or ~/gconf?

I would have filed a bug for any other upgrade behavior than as it is...
