Are you prepared to enforce that "agreement" by banning people who
continue to responde to threads that are off-topic? I'm prepared to
"agree" to not post on a thread that has received a postisofftopic
designation, just as long as people who don't abide by that agreement
are shown the door.
2) Start a project to package different default values for Extras.
We
have redhat-rpm-config changing rpm and fedora-release changing the
config of yum. Maybe there should be a poweruser-gconf-tweaks. (More
seriously, it should probably be more like config-nautilus-nonspatial,
config-rpmbuild-userdirs, config-metacity-focusfollows, etc) this can
work for things that just require default config changes but will not
work for compilation/upstream code changes.
I really don't think you a whole slew of individual config tools for
individual gconf key settings.
Can't you do this sort of thing for gnome desktops by providing
pre-packaged sabayon profiles moving forward? Since sabayon seems to
be exactly the tool aimed at administrors to created pre-cooked user
profiles and apply those profiles to a user account as needed.
