Then I misunderstood. I thought that you were running GNOME-2.32 and were complaining that while 2.32-era programs like epiphany-2.32, gnome-control-center-2.32, etc. expect all their settings to be stored in gconf, modern programs or libraries designed for GNOME-3 expect these settings to be stored in gsettings, which results in inconsistencies and strange behavior. But if you are running IceWM, this should not be a problem. To get gsettings working, you only need 4 things: dbus, glib, dconf, and gsettings-desktop-schemas. And the latest stable versions of them would be sufficient.
