Bug Description

This can be observed with numerous applets and is probably responsible for many applets needing the magic of an X restart before they will work after an new install.

I don't know if this can actually be fixed, apart from:

* applet developers changing their schemas as little as possible
* not using the gconf backend (assuming that the applet uses the libdesktop-agnostic config API)

summary: Applets that add new schemas often will not function properly until
- gcond is restarted
+ gconf is restarted
