GConfd seems to be no longer refreshing the client-side cache properly in Intrepid beta. Changes made by the current user with the configuration-editor (gconf-editor), or using pure gconftool-2 or another program (e.g., gnome-network-preferences) will update GConfd's cache properly, however, changes made using sudo -u $USRE gconftool-2... will not notify GConfd to update it's cache.
This is most easily demonstrated by running the following in a terminal (WARNING: will modify your network proxy settings):
1. Check existing settings:
gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode #will echo the current state as gconfd see's things
sudo -u $USER gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode #will echo the current state as the underlying xml file actually is
2. Change the settings in gconfd
gconftool-2 --type string --set /system/proxy/mode manual #will update the gconfd's settings
gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode #will echo 'manual'
sudo -u $USER gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode #will echo 'manual'
2. Change the settings in the underlying xml file
sudo -u $USER gconftool-2 --type string --set /system/proxy/mode none #will update the gconfd's settings
gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode #WILL STILL ECHO 'manual'
sudo -u $USER gconftool-2 --get /system/proxy/mode #will now echo 'none'

It is possible to work around this by either restarting gconfd (by running gconftool-2 --shutdown), or opening gconf-editor. Both of these seem to force the cache to reload somehow.
