I am guessing that this mysterious "2.19.4-2.fc8" will really mean
currently available gnome-session-2.19.4-2.fc8.  With that
my old ~/.gconf directories seems to be acceptable again. Thanks.

OTOH there is a new surprise.  On every seesion an alert shows
up 'Failure to execute child process "xscreensaver" (No such file
or directory)'.  A typo somewhere?  /usr/bin/xscreensaver
definitely does exist and it will even run when started from
a terminal window or that configuration thingy in "Preferences".
I cannot find anything more about this failure in any possible
logs.
