were the sort of things that were never meant to be stored in GConf
because write access to the GConf DB is not guarenteed so the user
cannot set anything.
In these cases the keys used to determine if it's the first run could
never be set, so it would always be the first run for the user, pinned
notes would never be pinned and synchronization would always require
you to start over.

These things should have been stored with a GKeyFile in the
~/.config/Tomboy directory, IMO
