Well, not really. You're just talking about 2 different things,
gnome-config just has a separate mechanism from ld.so for finding things
out (and it needs to find out different things too, so it makes sense).

Yes you can. But from looking at the code i think it assumes /usr
anyway, although i guess it wouldn't hurt to include it too.
If you are installing stuff from source, its generally a good idea not
to install it in /usr too, if you otherwise use rpm's or any similar
package management system (just incase one day you do instlal
overlapping packages and it starts to conflict).
