Frankly, I'm not familiar enough with
Fedora to give you exact tips as to which software package to use - if
gconf-editor is a tool from/for
Debian (and relatives), I wouldn't try to use it on
Fedora since there might be unmet dependencies or incompatibilities.
Reading
GNOME's documentation reveals that there is a tool called
gconftool-2 (the package might not contain the version number, though, or being called something similar -
gconf being most certainly a string that should be found by searching your repository.
But maybe this is already too far - maybe this helps:

It's for
Ubuntu, but I see no real reason why it shouldn't work for
Fedora (except possibly for the
metacity part - you can check which of the files mentioned you have by using
ls -a).
