That's what I expect too but let's test if after migration gconf activities
still works the same as before.

Unfortunately the article says the backend should not be used in production

To summarize my proposal:

* Move most settings to use GSettings
* For the few settings which the activity are currently using, set them
both in GSettings and GConf.
* Deprecate GConf support so that activity authors will gradually migrate
to GSettings.
