A few questions/comments ...

jmp-1) Brand and organization names like JDS should never be used in
architectural level artifacts - rather a descriptive word should
be used instead.

jmp-2) There should be a conceptual distinction between graphics system
startup, login screen, and desktop startup.  This would allow the user
or admin to use KDE (or CDE or ...) instead of GNOME as their desktop.
If the postrun stuff is tied to only the gnome desktop, yet it does
things for the other two conceptual areas, we have problems.  In the same
way, if postrun is a JDS-only thing, what mechanism would KDE (...) use?

jmp-3) How does this relate to the work being done in IPS, which is also
trying to fix/eliminate postinstall scripts?
