If it's per-user settings, it pretty much has to be in a file in $HOME,
/tmp or /var/tmp. Here's a way to find every file that's accessed
during your login process. From that, you should be able to guess
which are gnome-related.
1. Log out. Let the machine sit idle at the xdm/gdm login prompt
for at least five minutes.
2. Log in.
3. Open a shell window and type
find ~ /tmp /var/tmp -type f -amin 5
That will list all files accessed in the last ten minutes.
If it's systemwide settings you're looking for, you could do the same
thing, but start from / and use a longer timeout so find can finish.
20 minutes should be plenty.
