If you change this file while gconfd is running, it won't see those
changes and thus the changes are not reflected in the application.

But you can use gconftool-2 to set those values from the command line,
e.g.:

gconftool -t string -s /apps/gjiten/general/dictpath /usr/share/gjiten/

You can also use the interactive gconf-editor as a frontend for easy
browsing through the configuration tree.


The other alternative is to put the configuration at a prominent
position, so it will be used as a default configuration for all users.
See /etc/gconf/2/path and http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/. Make
sure to restart the gconfd (some applications don't like that, so the
savest way is to logout and login again), otherwise you probably won't
see the changes.
