It isn't gsettings, it is now dconf. dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/background/show-desktop-icons true Then you have the file manager on the desktop. It is very simple to create a script that uses dconf to create the environment you want. Then you can run that in any gnome-shell session and get your preferences. Once upon a time there was a prototype LDAP backend for gconf... that was awesome, you could store your session settings and preferences on a server, but that went away a very long time ago.
