Ajay, The module seems to be deprecated in favor of the GSettings API. I assume this will work much better in a Gnome 3 context in regards to having flushed out introspection API, but I personally know nothing about gconf or gsettings. Interestingly I found this information by looking at the projects doap file and wikipedia, so the gconf docs really need to be updated with a note about this. I'm sure contributions in this regard would be welcome as I'm sure more people will stumble across the same issue when porting stuff.
