It is expected, though not optimal. There may be some clever way to
fix it, but no one has been enterprising enough to find it.

To really maintain full gconf semantics, if an app writes to the
config source (e.g. you install schemas), then gconfd should notify
all other apps of any just-changed values in the database.
