Try something like this:

#!/bin/bash
gconftool-2 --direct \
     --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
     --type bool \
     --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled true
gconftool-2 --direct \
     --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
     --type bool \
     --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_enabled false
gconftool-2 --direct \
     --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
     --type string \
     --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/mode blank-only
gconftool-2 --direct \
     --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
     --type int \
     --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_delay 10
gconftool-2 --direct \
     --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
     --type bool \
     --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock_on_blank_screen false
gconftool-2 --direct \
     --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults \
     --type bool \
     --set /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock_use_screensaver_settings false
gconftool-2 --direct \
     --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
     --type bool \
     --set /apps/panel/global/locked_down true
