Yes, that's what Adam meant.

No, don't go around fiddling with folders that programs expect to remain
consistent.

It has settings in gconf, data in .local - it is a consistent
separation.  And don't go round changing .gconf - use a gconf editor to
change things. (The .gconf folder hierarchy is a method of maintaining
state between login sessions and is re-written from the in-memory gconf
info when gconfd exits.)
