Yes, this seems to work: with /apps/panel all panel settings are restored, and
with /apps/nautilus/desktop the home, computer and volume icons to be shown or
not on the desktop are saved.  But, suppose I want to save and restore _all_
my gnome settings?  For example, what I don't manage to do is restoring the
other possible icons on the desktop: e.g. the terminal, with its own position
and its own size.  What path should I tell gconftool?
