I was doing some more thinking about this, and I think setting it for
the user is a bad idea.  Think of the upgrade and downgrade scenarios.=20
Let's say the user is upgrading to GNOME 2.  They won't have gnomepanel
installed, but they will have libpanel installed.  Therefore, all their
GNOME 2 desktop bits will be broken. =20

I think it's safer to force the user to make a conscious decision to
about which GNOME desktop version they want.  This will prevent breakage
in places we don't want.

Check as much as you can.
