I think it makes sense to do the migration for all the apps at once.
Also, the migration from gconf can be done directly from dconf, the
first time it starts, or even it could be clever enough to synchronize
changes from gconf every time it starts, to cover apps that migrate to
dconf later. That would remove the apps' responsibility to do the
migration, which would be a lot of code to have that in all
applications.

And yes, I support the move from gconf to dconf! :)
