An exception to the broken gconf is gnome-tweak-tool which is still able
to set gconf values (like the previously mentioned window theme). gnome-
tweak-tool uses the following code:

from gi.repository import GConf

class GConfSetting:
    def __init__(self, key, _type):
        self._key = key
        self._type = _type
        assert(self._type in (str, bool))
        self._client = GConf.Client.get_default()

    def set_value(self, value):
        if self._type == bool:
            self._client.set_bool(self._key, value)
        elif self._type == str:
            self._client.set_string(self._key, value)
        else:
            assert(False)

Title:
  [oneiric] gconf settings don't get set properly

Status in The GConf Registry System:
  Unknown
Status in “gconf” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using gconf-editor to set settings doesn't work. The new theme section
  of System Settings sets every setting except for the Window theme
  which is the only setting changed there that is still gconf and isn't
  gsettings. When I try to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts in gnome-terminal, my
  changes don't stick after closing gnome-terminal because the gconf
  settings aren't actually set.
