|   I looked at a SuSE 6.1 system and they install into the following
|   locations (using all the config switches gnome-config has):
|   --prefix          /opt/gnome
|   --exec-prefix     /opt/gnome
|   --bindir          /opt/gnome/bin
|   --sbindir         /opt/gnome/sbin
|   --libexecdir      /opt/gnome/libexec
|   --datadir         /opt/gnome/share
|   --sysconfdir      /etc/opt/gnome

This one is used because the FHS says:

3.4.2  /etc/opt : Configuration files for /opt

Host-specific configuration files for add-on application software
packages shall be installed within the directory /etc/opt/<package>,
where <package> is the name of the subtree in /opt where the static data
from that package is stored.  No structure is imposed on the internal
arrangement of /etc/opt/<package>.

If a configuration file must reside in a different location in order for
the package or system to function properly, it may be placed in a
location other than /etc/opt/<package>.

|   --sharedstatedir  /opt/gnome/com
|   --localstatedir   /var/lib

Shouldn't hurt.

|   --libdir          /opt/gnome/lib
|   --infodir         /opt/gnome/info
|   --mandir          /opt/gnome/man
|   --includedir      /opt/gnome/include
|   
|   As you can see there is more than /opt/gnome.

Yes, 3 ;)  And we do provide links from /opt/gnome/etc (have a look at
the SuSE spec files coming with the source RPMs).
