 Just out of interest, how often do you update files in /etc (or, if
I've misunderstood, read them to update a file somewhere else) ?
The only time I remember doing that in the last 2+ years was when I
looked at the pulse files (trying to get it to work).  Arguably, I
should mention that I update vimrc on every build (so, I know what I
want there, but a new builder might need to experiment), and
similarly I create the dhclient-exit-hooks.  But, *on a desktop*
(since we're talking about gnome) - what else do you expect to look
at to get it working ?
