That configurability comes at the cost of a disastrous UI and many cases of Not-Invented-Here syndrome (using flat files for storage instead of GConf, using its own themes instead of those of Metacity/Cairo/GTK, et. al).

I am not certain why gconf is a "better" solution. It makes moving users from one version to another difficult. (More than once, I have had all the configuration data tied up in the gconf blob. Not easy to say "pull all the configuation for app x".) Gconf is just repeating the mistakes of the Windows registry without the extra obfuscation of uid keys.
What do you mean by "pull all the configuration for app x"?
If you mean tell me what is the configuration, try either of the following: gconftool-2 -R '/apps/gnotime' gconftool-2 --dump '/apps/gnotime'
If you mean, get rid of your customizations, try: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset '/apps/gnotime'
