It is the opposite of --dump.  It loads an xml file of proxy key-values.

Not sure what you're asking here.  I set the proxy values the first time
with gconftool --dump /system/proxy and gconftool
--dump /system/http_proxy.  That creates two xml files I can load with
gconftool --load.  I edit those files to set my proxy settings.  I then
use dispatcher scripts to load a different pair of files, depending on
my location.
