Details

I attached an improved package and diff file with the following changes:
- gnome-desktop-sharp is splitted for a while, so replace with libgnome-desktop-sharp, rsvg2-sharp and wnck-sharp
- it's a platform-independent package, so it should be any
- use the upstream website instead of project page as URL: http://wiki.go-docky.com/
- do not call update-desktop-database, since the .desktop file does not contain MIME type, and remove desktop-file-utils dependency
- simplify GConf install by using configure switches
(application/x-gzip)    docky-2.1.3-2.src.tar.gz (1 KiB)
   docky.diff (2.1 KiB)
This task depends upon

The way gconf was handled had its purpose. This way, no matter what schemas are installed, they're consolidated into a schema file with a known name, which can then be installed during package installation. Also, installing the schema while packaging is avoided.

Usually, applications use only one GConf schema, and it's named after the package name. In this case the 'gconf-merge-schema' command means a simple move. But of course in some rare cases multiple GConf schemas installed, and it's better to merging them.

But now
- '--disable-schemas-install' is equivalent to 'GCONF_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_SCHEMA_INSTALL=1' and
- '--with-gconf-schema-file-dir=/usr/share/gconf/schemas' is equivalent to 'mkdir -p "$pkgdir/usr/share/gconf/schemas" && gconf-merge-schema "$pkgdir/usr/share/gconf/schemas/docky.schemas" "$pkgdir"/etc/gconf/schemas/*.schemas && rm -rf "$pkgdir/etc/gconf"'.

So my recommendation is simpler, but not works for all apps. Anyway, you could ignore the bottom of my patch, and review&apply the rest.
