This is exactly what I thought when looking at this problem. However,
Quinnstorm has smart way of overcoming this problem. She's created a
hints file which has something like this:

[crashhandler]
h_a_window_manager_command_line=command;
[cube]
h_s_skydome_image=file;image;pngonly;
h_s_images_top=file;image;
[screenshot]
h_a_directory=file;directory;
[blurfx]
h_s_reflection_file=file;image;pngonly;
[splash]
h_a_logo_file=file;image;pngonly;

and uses this in beryl-settings as below:

gboolean has_hint(BerylSetting * o, const gchar * hint)
{
}

and

if (has_hint(o,"image"))
    {
    }

Although I like your proposal better, which makes me think why this
was not implemented for gconf-editor by all the applications, so that
gconf-editor itself becomes more user friendly.

Cheers!
