I've tried --config-source=/home/$user/.gconf and it says :

# gconftool-2 --config-source=/home/david.bercot/.gconf --get
"/apps/evolution/mail/accounts"

Yes, it would be a good solution. But if a user has the same key, which
one will  be the last : the /etc/gconf one or the /home/$user/.gconf
one ?

Thank you.
