Yes, that's the cleaner solution.
Formerly this was called "killev" I suppose.

Yes. It should be well-known that messing with GConf might be risky.

Correct. As I have written some scripts to allow "global configuration"
(better: replication) of Evolution accounts for all users, there really
ARE important data in ~/evolution :( [E.g. directory server used for
contats configuration] Let's wait what new Evo 2.0 will bring, I've read
on the blogs, they are going to make some kind of account/settings
lockdown...
