Not that I have any expertise using it, but gconftool (or gconftool-2) might
prove helpful. I just did a dump of the gconf database and saw some interesting
hits. 

$ gconftool-2 --dump / | grep -f offline

         It disables the feature where repeated prompts to ask if offline sync is required.

I don't do GNOME here, so I do not have a full install. There might be more for you.
