The logging out part shuts down the GConf daemon, which maintains an
in-memory cache of your GConf settings.  Shutting down the daemon
flushes the in-memory cache to your ~/.gconf files.

Technically you can do this without logging out of your GNOME session,
but it's easier and safer if you just log out.
