Regarding the recent message to testers@, I noticed we're using .gconf
directories tied to the Ubuntu version. This presumably means that if a
user who previously used Intrepid logs in to a Jaunty machine, anything
they customized via gconf will be gone, right? If so, that's unfortunate.
We should either publicize this, or have a trivial method to migrate
settings. Presumably the world doesn't completely break, since users with
local homedirs (who would presumably only have .gconf) have to migrate
somehow...
