Jeff,
  That is a flaw in the way GConf# currently handles things. I should
have some free time this upcoming week to go back to hacking, and have
some ideas on how to fix it. In the meantime, I would advise you to
write an enum mapping out those values string-by-string, and then using
System.Enum to convert back and forth.
