You can use gconftool-2 with the --direct --config-source=.. options in
order to get (and set) data at a specific level.
One way for setting some settings as mandatory or default that you have
set up as local user settings is:
1. Dump the desired part of the user settings to a file
$ gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml::$HOME/.gconf \
--dump /the/base/gconf/key > mysettings.xml
2. Clean up the settings, to prune any you don't want, etc.
$ $EDITOR mysettings.xml
3. Load the settings into the mandatory (or default) data source
# gconftool-2 --load mysettings.xml \
--direct --config-source=xml::/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory

P.S. Depending on the OS/distro/version your desktop may support
facilities that provide simpler ways of setting up default or mandatory
settings in gconf, like Sabayon or Sun Desktop Manager.
