My preference is option 4) /etc (Something that Fedora and Ubuntu uses, just to name a few) I don't see any benefit in creating a gnome/whatever under /etc. I don't see how you could ever have two working versions of gnome on the one system. Whatever sub component (gnome package) you will install, it's most likely you will only have one version of it, gtk2/3 being the exception. As in my version of the book, (Option 5) I opted to have a $GNOME_SYSCONFDIR variable rather than a semi hard coded path. That way, the user can decide what path they choose to use, just like with $GNOME_PREFIX.
