Is that per-user, or per-system? 

Debian has a per-system "alternatives" system which would allow the admin 
to select whether /usr/bin/pcb is the GTK+ version or the Lesstif
version, by changing symlinks. The package maintainer specifies
priorities which set the default if multiple options are installed.

If you have per-user then I guess you wrote a script and read something
out of $HOME. It might be useful to have this on Debian too. Can you
point me at the code, if this is indeed what you have implemented?

thanks
