Bug Description
When setting Déjà Dup's include-list and exclude-list GConf keys from the command line via GSettings, I just assumed constructs like ['$HOME/path'] would work since the default values are ['$HOME'] and ['$TRASH', '$DOWNLOAD'], respectively. Nope, didn't work. They're just ignored and don't show up in DEJA_DUP_DEBUG=1 deja-dup --backup | appropriate grepping.
It's fine if Déjà Dup doesn't support this syntax, I was just a bit surprised. Perhaps this could be explicitly mentioned in the documentation for the GConf keys (http://

Hello Nathanael,
thanks for submitting this bug report.
$USER is currently the only key, which is allowed to be inside of a larger string.
One could think about adding this support for $HOME and $DOWNLOADS or $MUSIC as well .
In the meantime I will provide (another) small fix for the documentation next week.
Best Regards
Vej
