Hmm, are you sure that it should work that way?

# gconftool-2 --get-schema-name /apps/galeon/UI/Tabs/tabbed_shorten
/schemas/apps/galeon/UI/Tabs/tabbed_shorten
# gconftool-2 --get-schema-name /apps/galeon/UI/Tabs/tabbed_shorten_points
/schemas/apps/galeon/UI/Tabs/tabbed_shorten_points
# gconftool-2 --get-schema-name /apps/galeon/UI/Tabs/tabbed_vowel
/schemas/apps/galeon/UI/Tabs/tabbed_vowel

These keys all appear in "gconftool-2 -R /apps/galeon" here, but they
don't seem to work anymore.

Ok, I'll keep that in mind.
