If you knew the proper gconf key, you could use gconftool to manipulate it.
This is how I get emacs keybindings, for instance:

gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme Emacs

You could find that key, perhaps, by logging into gnome as another user or
get a Gnome-using friend to dig it up for you.  I don't have gnome
installed anywhere or I'd take a look.

Another option: you could temporarily switch your desktop environment to
something that works and see if the gconf-editor GUI will let you edit the gconf
stuff.

Or you could try grep -r through ~/.gconf ...

good luck!
