Planned solution: Bonobo components or gconfd daemons can most easily be reused if they erroneously persist beyond logout, but they can also be reused in other cases. For example, someone could have logged in remotely to an Athena machine from elsewhere, run a GNOME program sch such as Evolution, and left the login session around (with expired tickets and tokens) before attempting to log in locally. Although the corner cases may be rare enough to warrant moving this to the low-priority list, nothing appears to have removed the need for this feature. There is upstream support in GNOME for environment variables to specify these directories, but those features are not in the Hardy versions. We will have to use the framework for modifying Debian packages to enable this, although we can ignore the GNOME 1 libraries.
