[KLUG Members] gconftool settings. :-(

In my quest to make Evolution run remotely, I'm starting to come to the
conclusion that Evolution isn't compatible with Redhat 8.0 settings.

Comparing what settings Evolution wants for a proxy server (or fonts)
from the documentation I've found on ximian.com doesn't match what I
have in my gconf database on Redhat 8.0 according to gconftool.  
(they seem to have different paths)

Anyway, is there a way to find out for sure what settings Evolution is
reading?  What gconf path it's reading to look for proxy server
settings, etc.?  Something like strace or whatever ...

If I could find the settings evolution is reading, I could probably set
them manually with gconftool.

And what's up with this gconftool crap anyway?  It looks so similar to a
registry, it makes me want to puke.
