This is not the sort of feature I would turn on by default. However,
sometimes displaying the MOTD is something that system administrators
like to do (the UCC MOTDs contains useful information; there are also
scripts to sync them). Having this as a GConf option is the sort of
feature that might be useful in 2% of cases, but it is polish that
doesn't cost us much, and someone might just find useful and shiny.
