Sabayon itself doesn't handle the "mandatory" part for settings, it just
sets up GConf to not allow writes to the settings. Read the sysadmin
guide for details:
http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/

For files its a bit different. If a setting in sabayon that just
consists of copying a file in place (a non-gconf one) is set to
mandatory that just means it will be overwritten on each login.
