One important item I did not see mentioned is to remove gnome-config
and change everything in gnome-libs that uses gnome-config to use
GConf. The whole central manageability thing that GConf is supposed to
provide will not work unless GConf is used pervasively.

Fortunately, most of these changes out to be API-transparent except
for the part of actually removing gnome-config.
