Exactly.  This is one reason why I removed the panel with notification
area until we can figure it out.  I suppose one idea would be to add a
separate set of GConf defaults by putting $USER in the  GConf database
path.  But then we may need to start adding special cases to
applications.  Not sure that is a good way to go.

We may be able to provide a better and more integrated experience by
just providing our own "view" of the session daemon state anyway.  For
g-p-m we'd really only need two things:

 * An icon that shows the battery state
 * A button for suspend

Those are easy.

For NetworkManager I'm not sure what to do...
