Not sure what I was thinking last time, but rereading this mail I
don't understand it at all; your settings are in ~/.gconf, there's no
reason they should be different per-machine. (The *factory defaults*
may be - they'll match the OS your machine is running on.  To use
fixed factory defaults insert a config source in /etc/gconf/2/path
that is in some shared location, then gconftool-2
--makefile-install-rule /etc/gconf/schemas/*.schemas on the system you
want to use the factory defaults from, more or less.)
