Good point.

There's a simple solution for this, AFAIK. We would be shipping a script
(namely, gnome-paths), which would retrieve these variables through
gconf; here we go:

        #!/bin/sh
        export GNOME_DESKTOP_FOLDER=`gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/...`

and any script which needs these would /source/ our script. Although it
looks a bit ugly, this is a non-issue. Technically, at least.
