This means when you reopen a folder it will have the same size, layout, and position that it had when it was closed. Unfortunately I could not find a gconf key that set the default size of the open-folder windows.

Typically the gconf information is stored in a hierarchy of XML files [2]. In theory the gconf could use a relational database or LDAP (or, heaven forbid, DAP) to store the data, but I have not heard of this ever being done.
