gtk installed with --sysconfdir=/etc

I have switched the sysconfdir only when explicitly mentioned, since I
didn't want the configs of a 2.18-gnome installation with a
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome/2.14.3 directory 

I am thinking of starting over again and giving no --sysconfig
preferences at all. Will that help or am I asking for even more
trouble?
