Well, the gconf: moniker is a simple wrapper, so I consider porting the whole
test suite as an overkill.

I am a bit unsure about the purpose of schema's. Schema's store default
values and documentation, and you can map each key to a schema. But is it
really necessary that we make this mapping configurable? Isn't it possible to
map "/a/simple/key" to schema "/schema/a/simple/key".  And do we really need
that additional default value stored in the schema?
