That is right....but changing a gconf schema is not the right way to change a default either. Run gconf-editor as root, open a "Defaults Window", and change the value there. That'll make the change in the "Defaults database" in /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults. If you don't want any user to be able to change this, you can use a "Mandatory Window", to make the change in the "Mandatory database", which takes precedence over user settings.
