Description of problem:

The charpicker applet (Character Palette) ignores any changes made to its
preferences in gconf while it is running.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-applets-2.22.1-2.fc9


How reproducible:

Every time.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the Character Palette applet (charpicker) to a panel.
2. Modify /apps/panel/applets/applet_0/prefs/chartable and/or
/apps/panel/applets/applet_0/prefs/current_list in gconf.
  
Actual results:

Nothing changes until next login.  Even if you right click on the applet and go
to preferences, the old character tables still appear.

Expected results:

The character tables in the applet should be updated to reflect the new
settings.  These changes should also appear in the preferences dialog.
