Actually, I think some definite suggestions in the tutorial, or possible
a "guide to making applications" for GTK which specifies or suggests how
to handle things like the rc file.  I know that GNOME has such
guidelines, but if there are going to be non-GNOME GTK apps, such
guidelines would be a good idea.
