Check your ~/.gconf directory permissions (including subdirectories) and
make sure they are writable.  What you describe sounds like the GConf
daemon process (gconfd-2) is unable to write its in-memory settings to
disk when the desktop session is ending, which would explain why your
settings are retained during the session but lost on reboot.
