You can stick the backup code at the beginning of your .xsession

tar cf - .enlightenment/ .gnome/|\
   bzip2 >/tmp/${USER}-${DISPLAY}-GNOMErc-$(date +%s).tar.bz2


or something similar, and then let the cron job that cleans out /tmp/
take care of removing old ones.

This assumes you have a way of executing a script to restore the
correct settings when they go wrong.
