I generally agree with you that networkable gconf is the right fix -
that's been the goal for a long time, and the file layout hacks are just
a recognition of the fact that networkable gconf doesn't seem to be
happening in the immediate future :-/

The way to fix it of course is to have a central config server (maybe
just a file server or webdav server, maybe an LDAP server though LDAP
sucks for writes) rather than having arbitrary machines talk to each
other.
