Putting this in gal seems fine to me.  The only thing I'm at all
concerned with is that gal doesn't currently depend on gconf.

However, if this is a gnome2 library and gnome-libs2 depends on gconf,
we can totally change this for the gnome2 port of gal.

I'm totally up for integrating this.  We should talk more when the
gnome2 port of gal builds up steam.
