Not sure. I don't recall having to escape anything. If you use 
gconf-editor and go to apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default and click on 
background_color then at the bottom there is an explanation. It seems to 
suggest that text needs to be quoted ("red") but hex values for the 
color not. I quoted the hex values in F14 and they all worked.

I think there is also some gconf info on freedesktop.org. Maybe it has 
the answer. Or just do it by trial-and-error :)

Agreed. I am looking forward to 3.2 too. Hopefully gconf/dconf will be 
more unified.
