Recursive directory unset

[Glynn Foster <glynn foster sun com>]

Heya,
I'm trying to remove per panel configuration, using a function to
recursively unset the keys in a given directory. This is all copied from
gconftool - 

gnome-core/panel/panel-gconf.c: panel_gconf_directory_recursive_clean ()

Is there anyway to remove the actual directory using gconf? [apart from
the obvious 'rm -rf']. Does a call to gconf_client_dir_exists return
false for a empty directory? [Sorry, too lazy to root through gconf code
:) ]

			Thanks,	
				Glynn ;)
