Nothing at all.  I like things like this, or like the X resource
database.  I'd prefer a way which didn't require the user to have a
specific line in their RCs, though.  Ideally, if the user has no
settings in their directory, it should pull in the global defaults.
If in your example, I didn't have a .cshrc, I wouldn't get the global
defaults, and I might not know where o get them from.

Yeah, that's something I'd like to discuss.  In terms of menu items, I
think gnome has the abillity to store mnenu items in the .gnome di as
well, and merge them.  The big thing is app preferences.  It would be
great if ee would read a /usr/share/gnome/app-defaults/ee before
reading my ~/.gnome/ee so that mine would override it.  Ditto on the
gtkrcs.  I think that may be my project, unless I've missed it and
it's already been done.  8^)
