In addition I have also just spotted that the gconf settings are only
written to file if the wizard is run from the desktop. The settings are
not being written to the .gconf folder if the wizard is run
"post-session". Settings saved in other folders ex.
".config/autostart/dasher.desktop" are being written successfully so I
have to conclude it is specific to the login process for gdm.

Obviously there must be a good reason for this behavior but is there a way
around it? It's a major blocker to allow me to complete functionality of
the wizard.





Warmest regards.
