OK, thanks Eric. I made some progress:

gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.files auto-import false
This seems to work. Box "watch library directory for new files" is now unchecked in the preferences dialog, and Shotwell doesn't attempt to import files when started.

gsettings set org.yorba.shotwell.preferences.files import-dir '~/Pictures/shotwell'
This only works if ~/Pictures/shotwell is empty. Otherwise "Import photos to" shows (None), and it doesn't.

Weird.

P.S. The reason I thought Shotwell uses gconf is that it populates gconf keys on startup. But I guess this must be a feature, not a bug.
