My understanding was that with current Fedoras, gconf doesn't need this but
I could be misremembering, missing a corner case, or just wrong :-)

What are the cases that we need to still send a sighup to gconf?  (or is
this a workaround for an undiagnosed bug in the guake gconf schema?)

We can't do this only once at the end of a transaction but if I'm
remembering a different discussion, doing it multiple times at the end
of the rpm transaction should be almost as good (since gconf will wait for
a few moments from getting the first SIGHUP to see if it will get any other
ones.)  Is that correct?
