There are certain gsettings keys that can have multiple values (e.g. a key like verbosity could be assigned to one error, info, or debug). I want to be able to list them, but my dconf-editor (0.7.3) can't view them. Is there an existing alternative?

More information would be helpful. For instance, when you say dconf-editor can't view them, are you seeing errors? Do you think this is a bug with dconf-editor or is it just not used to view gsetting keys? Can it view normal keys, just not keys with multiple values? All of these are questions that would shed some light on your current question. Will using something like gconf overcome this problem? More detail will be infinitely useful. What are you trying to do, what exactly is failing etc. – rfelsburg Apr 12 '11 at 13:11
   
@rfelsburg Good points. I have updated my post to clarify. – Tshepang Apr 12 '11 at 13:24

BTW, gconf-editor also doesn't have this option. – Tshepang Apr 12 '11 at 20:59

The newer version of dconf-editor now lists the options.

enter image description here

In this example, if you click on debug, you'll see a list of other available values. This screenshot is of version 0.10 of the tool.

you can get it through /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.nautilus.gschema.xml or you have to use gconf-editor.
