Meet GConf Cleaner
The tool is still in early stages of development (version 0.0.2), but
I've successfully run it on my desktop and was amazed how many old
entries it found. Typically, if you install some GNOME application, play
with it a little bit and later decide to delete it, it's configuration
settings will remain in the GConf database. So your registry will only
grow in time.
Ye bloody gods!
