This just changes one hardcoded value for another, and doesn't take into
account what environment the user is currently running.  I commented on
it here:

        http://mail.gnome.org/archives/dashboard-hackers/2005-July/msg00071.html
        
The right thing to do is abstract the differences away in some sort of
interface rather than crufting up the code with #ifdefs.

(Incidentally, this is something that has come up on the GNOME lists
recently.  See:

        http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-July/msg00579.html
        
... for more info.)
