Here a (possibly bad) idea for setting up the default locations for

Use a gconf key to specify the current locations of the Photos and

Hello,
Before thinking about a media centre for GNOME, it is really important
to understand that any media centre relies heavily on indexed metadata.
As a developer of the Elisa media centre, I would rather focus on

Hi,
Anjuta also propose ~/Projects, gnome-user-share use ~/Public, and

I disagree strongly but that isn't important right now. Although we could

Well I am not sure how 'huge' this effort needs to be as we have a lot
of these places implicitly in place already. Everything uses GStreamer
which means a shared library and a lot of shared code already. A recent
