Hi Marcin,

Since you already looked at it, I have a comment without looking at it
myself :-p.

As far as I know, gconf was replaced with dconf with the new Gnome.  In
that case it might be better to replace the instructions with the
corresponding dconf command line instead of some Gnome only binary
(update-desktop-database here).  Would you be willing to take a look at
it?
