This might be a good idea, but it would also mean that Sugar and
activities share no settings at all with GNOME in cases where that
might be desirable. I can't immediately think of any pitfalls, but
this does needs some extra thought and testing to see if this is
really what we want and if it will cause headaches for the OLPC
distribution.
