dconf-editor
gconftool-2
gnome-session-properties

It seems there is a tendency for creating more and more such tools.
Your list is a missing at least the commandline tools dconf and
gsettings. But I don' think things are quite as bleak, and all these
tools have their own mission:
gconftool-2 / gconf-editor are obsolescent, and will fall by the wayside
when the last things are ported away from GConf
The dconf commandline tool is very low-level and you should just use the
gsettings tool.
dconf-editor is the gsettings equivalent of gconf-editor, a 'generic'
graphical frontend for all settings.
gnome-tweak-tool is a non-generic graphical frontend to a wider set of
options than what is exposed in the control-center. It should be the
first stop for anybody who feels the itch to 'tweak' his desktop.
gnome-session-properties is obsolescent, a leftover from the gnome 2.x
control-center. The autostart functionality will eventually be
integrated somewhere in gnome-shell or the control-center.
