When you installed gconf it probably gave you a message along the
lines:

 If this is your first install of GConf, you may need to move
 $(prefix)/etc/gconf/$(MAJOR_VERSION)/path.example to
 $(prefix)/etc/gconf/$(MAJOR_VERSION)/path, so that the default
 configuration is sane. If you are already using GConf, you may need
 to move your old configuration into place if $(MAJOR_VERSION) is not
 the same as your old version.
