You should only edit gconf files under very specific conditions, please
don't edit them, use the tools instead. Two tools you can use are
gconftool and gconf-editor.

Now.. to disable the 'alt-control-delete' effect - edit your keyboard
shortcuts and disable 'log out' under 'desktop'. The keyboards shortcuts
dialog is in system/preferences. You can also open this dialog by
running gnome-keybinding-properties.

Just click on the 'log out' entry and hit <backspace>. Once you disable
the shortcut it will take effect immediately.
