Migrate from GConf to GSettings

Created by: eheintzmann

With GNOME 3.0 (april 2011), the GNOME Project decided to discontinue GConf. It won't be maintained anymore: bugs and security holes will not be fixed. Thus, Hamster shouldn't depend on GConf any longer. Please, migrate to GSettings. GStettings is the official GNOME replacement for GConf, and the GNOME project is porting all of its applications to it: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/GSettingsMigration
