Public bug reported:

We have written a compizconfig backend which uses GSettings, however
gtk-window-decorator still uses GConf, so we cannot drop the gconf dep
from the compiz source completely. gtk-window-decorator should also be
using GSettings. Tests need to be included.

== CHANGE ==

Refactors the settings code in gtk-window-decorator to use an abstract
intermediate object GWDSettings which provides the necessary interfaces
for the settings storage backend to update the decorator when necessary.
Provides two backends for usage - a GConf backend (based on the old
code) and a GSettings Backend

== TESTING ==

Test suite included, coverage report attached to bug when complete

== WHY? ==

We want to drop the gconf dep from the compiz source package. We don't
want to depend on metacity gconf keys which are being removed

== FALLBACK ==

Reintroduce metacity gconf keys, revert to gconf code
