I think there is really a better approach to this, but it doesn't mesh 
all that well with RPM capabilities.  That is, for every package or 
package group where there is more than one commonly desired 
configuration, there should be multiple configuration packages where the 
last one installed wins, conceptually similar to the way the 
caching-nameserver package is just a different configuration for bind.

Then you could have a gnome-cluttered package for people who like 
leaving trails of open windows splattered all over the screen and 
gnome-clean for people who don't.
