	Note: there can be exceptions ... e.g. recent gnome-panel also installs
actual values (as opposed to schemas) in the database with commands
like:

  $> gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
                 --load /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries
  $> gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
                 --load /etc/gconf/schemas/panel-default-setup.entries /apps/panel/default_setup

Cheers,
Mark.
