Hi, Martin.

The patch you proposed doesn't compile as it is :

   CCLD     mate-appearance-properties
ld: warning: file 
/export/home/alp/srcs/oi-userland/components/desktop/mate/mate-control-center/build/i86/libwindow-settings/.libs/libmate-window-settings.so: 
linked to ../../libwindow-settings/.libs/libmate-window-settings.so: 
attempted multiple inclusion of file
Undefined                       first referenced
  symbol                             in file
effects_init                        appearance-main.o


Other issue I see is that patch still refers to Gnome gconf settings for 
panel, metacity, etc... Mate corresponding applications already use 
dconf (gsetting) for these settings. Compiz still use gconf. So, it's 
necessary to fix this patch, so that it uses dconf for getting/setting 
Mate applications settings.
