They actually *are* configuration files. You can edit them with
gconftool or gconf-editor.

Mass bug filing when only one package is implicated and the other ones
are relying on it? This is ridiculous.
As many people already complained about the size
of /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults, the default settings are in the
process to be moved to /var/lib/gconf/defaults. All packages built with
debhelper >= 4.9.8.1 are now going to do this automatically. When GNOME
2.12 is uploaded, most defaults will move automatically to this new
place. After that, we'll have to hunt down and rebuild all remaining
packages.
