If you're not using the XDG directory rules then you probably should not
be using /etc/xdg. It will just lead to confusion.

For GNOME, I was assuming that this information would be stored in
gsettings/dconf. (This is
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543455, although the bug was
originally something slightly different, and I hijacked it a bit as of
comment 8.)

Then we just rely on dconf defaults/lockdown stuff to make it so the
distro/admin can set things up as desired and the user can't override it
without root authorization.
