Take a look in gconf-editor
http://library.gnome.org/users/gconf-editor/2.22/getting-started.html.en

Path is
/apps/gnome-power-manager/

To list all settings recursive in a terminal:
gconftool --recursive-list /apps/gnome-power-manager

To unset all settings recursive:
gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-power-manager

Of course you can do this also with just one string.
For more information see manpage:
man gconftool-2

Thanks,
I know I can edit this settings with gconf-editor for example. But all these settings must be eventually represented by some config file, text or xml or whatever.

For each user the files are in /home/username/.gconf/apps/gnome-power-manager/
Predefined settings must be somewhere under /etc I think, but I cann`t figure out which file or set of files responsible for it.
