We had that discussion recently:

http://www.delorie.com/archives/browse.cgi?p=geda-user/2012/02/21/18:18:08

http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:file_format_spec#path_data

Unfortunately reading the mailing list archives is not very comfortable
currently.

Short summary: gschem editor does not support editing filled polygons
currently (or Bezier curves) -- you have to do it in an text editor or
add that functionality to gschem.
