Exactly my point. I was suggesting instead of losing the information by
deleting it, it would be worthwhile to "translate" the gconf commands to
the corresponding dconf commands.

But you *are* a user :), I was just suggesting with a little more effort
maybe you can figure out what the correct command is. I think it would
be a worthy addition to Worg. With your current change, we make the
Worg entry even more desktop dependent than before[1].
Hope my encourangements get you motivated to look into this.
Cheers,
Footnotes:
[1] Although gconf/dconf is used with Gnome, there are many other
desktops that use them as backends. After all most Gnome apps are
rather popular.
