If the gnome_config key does not exist, None is returned (that is the None
object -- not the string "None"). This is equivalent to the C NULL
constant. You should be able to use one of:
if gnome.config.get_string("/App/Section/Setting") == None:
if not gnome.config.get_string("/App/Section/Setting"):
