As I said upthread, defaults are overwritten by package updates. 

If you have never changed anything on your desktop, you will receive the
changed defaults. If you have spent hours customizing every aspect of
your desktop, those changes are in your personal GConf database and will
not be overwritten by a package update.

The situation is a bit different for the padding changes, since we have
added new GConf keys here that did not exist before. Therefore, nobody
has an explict value of 0 in their personal GConf database, and
everybody will get the padding.
