I agree with Jeff's underlying point about consistency. However if you
forget
about EA's and other stuff for a bit and stick the paths in gconf then
it gets rather easier to handle. A change won't affect existing users
(unless they want it to).

Nobody agonizes about stock icons and their path differences between
distributions because nobody has to care. How is a solution based on
gconf and gnome_stock_path(PATH_TEMPLATES),
gnome_open_template("fred").. any different ?
