You can dump the settings that are in dconf with gsettings list-recursively and redirecting the output to a file. You could then compare the text output from your two installs to home in on what needs changing in the new install. (You might want to sort the 2 text files before comparing them.) I'd expect a certain amount of trial-and-error with this approach (e.g., the diff output might flag changes that don't actually matter for you). But I've used it once or twice on my home desktop, and it did help give direction to my tweaking. hth, mike
