I disagree that it's trivial with cp. It's only possible with old
installs of GConf, if you wiped your settings you'll find that the
entire configuration is written to a single file (because it's much
faster to load).  Anyway, as has been said before it's the tools that
matter and gconftool support this.

Yes, there needs to be a tool which imports and exports settings.  I
think this already exists.
