I was using the gtk build before (as gtk widgets are definitely nicer
than lucid), but more and more "gtk" means "gnome" nowdays, so I
switched. Since I only see widgets for the "customize" interface (as I
hide every gui element anyway), I'm actually happier with the lucid build.

I don't use gnome. I mostly use vanilla GTK and (increasingly) QT apps
when I have to. I literally have no idea how to set "gsettings" without
installing half of the gnome desktop. I'm certainly not going to use any
of these graphical tools to customize *emacs*.

Frankly, I don't see any benefit for gsettings in the lucid build. If
you don't have gnome and some application sets font settings for you,
good luck finding the right key/value with gconf. fontconfig support
with the lucid build is excellent, and Xresources have very nice
cascading properties that also apply to lucid widgets.
