I see. Unfortunately, that directory is a requirement to install the conversion keyfile for gsettings-data-convert. This is the program that migrates your GConf keys to gsettings. There's no alternate directory to use:
http://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.26/ch26s07.html The best we could do is allow for the Shotwell installation to be configured not to install this file. That means, however, that your GConf keys won't be migrated when you run Shotwell, requiring the user to manually change their Preferences to reflect their needs. It also means all publishing keys and session tokens would be lost, requiring the user to log back in when they attempted to share their photos. I've ticketed this here: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4102 We'll attempt to get this in to 0.11.1.
