I also think this is good. All that really matters is that *all*
gnome-related sysconf data is under one subdir of /etc. I don't
have access to my Gnome desktop right now but if I recall correctly,
using /etc/gnome as sysconfdir would result in something like
/etc
/gnome
/gconf
/mimedata
/menudata
/otherdirs
files directly under /etc/gnome as well
Note that the names I used are just guesses and are not probably
correctly named. I do know that using /etc alone would not result
in all files in a single subdir under /etc. That is why it has
always been /etc/gnome. The /etc/gnome/version was simply a way
to manage multiple gnome installations.
