~$ cat .gconf/apps/compiz-1/plugins/gnomecompat/screen0/options/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
	<entry name="command_screenshot" mtime="1340309456" type="string">

	</entry>
	<entry name="command_window_screenshot" mtime="1340309445" type="string">
		<stringvalue>gnome-screenshot -w -i</stringvalue>
	</entry>
	<entry name="run_key" mtime="1320343944" type="string">
		<stringvalue></stringvalue>
	</entry>
	<entry name="main_menu_key" mtime="1320343944" type="string">
