[lug] making gnome re-read config

[D. Stimits]

I'm trying to find out how to make gnome re-read its config file without 
ending the gnome session (using Fedora Core 4). The goal is to edit the 
background image in the XML file, and have it update that image based on 
something like an alarm clock or cron. So far kill -HUP, -SIGUSR1, and 
-SIGUSR2 do not do this...they end the session entirely. Obviously the 
manager application knows a way, but maybe it's API related and not a 
signal. Anyone have any hints on what would cause gnome to re-read its 
config for an individual user without ending the session, and without 
user intervention (other than setting up the alarm clock program)?
