Gnome does have a "gui" tool for setting esoteric settings.
gnome-settings-manager, or some-such. I forget its name right now, but
it shows a list of all apps on the left, with disclosure triangles,
and when you click on a setting, you can change it on the right.
Granted, it's all text (and boolean true/false), but hey, it's better
than using a text editor. ;-) When I first set up Gnome, I always
launch this app, and move my titlebar buttons to the left with it.
