Do they actually not like their users?

By the way, the gconf key required appears to be

  desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme

and the value that still works to fix the key assignments is "Emacs".

Do they actually not like their users?

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I thought this was lost.

Through Gtk themeing you can actually set Gtk text widgets to use any key 
theme (RC file) you like:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.12/GtkSettings.html#...

The above mentioned setting just tells it to use a pre-installed Emacs 
keybindings theme RC file from here:
/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc

If you look at it, it should be fairly obvious how to create your own 
keyboard themes.
