Yes it does. But that is why gconf should only be used for data that it
would be "nice" to save on a per-user basis, but not a problem if it was
lost or overridden by an administrator setting. I do not know the
context of the data you are trying to save, but if it is data that you
really _have_ to save for the application to be useful, then you should
use another method.
