I have a cron job that just backs up the entire .gconf directory every few hours. If I ever lose my settings, or if I accidentally screw something up, I can just restore that backup and be back to where I was. Note that desktop icons are a slightly different issue though. While I believe gconf does store the position of the icons, the actual files are stored elsewhere. So to really "move the desktop" to a new machine, you'd have to make sure that the appropriate files are copied over as well. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
