They seem to be the best one to me, right now... I'd like to have a standard way to deal with this for GNOME and KDE. One possible solution for not depending on gconf/gnome-session is simply adding a file as conffile to the correct directory, as jdub pointed out to me on IRC, but I still want to clear the 'it's already there' question before switching to this method. > > > That's respecting users' freedom of choice. > > > > It's being done right now. > > Of course, the alternatives system gives you the same feature, but what > happens if tomorrow gnome-session changes the .png file location?

IMHO that's a bug. I'd say that's improbable. Anyway, we have the tools to handle this fairly well. I don't see it as a problem.
