On Linux, you must have /usr/athena/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or Athena 9.2
will break, mostly because of those GConf mods. The gnome-panel wrapper
will bitch at you if you have a custom setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH which
doesn't put /usr/athena/lib before /usr/lib.
Really, we went over this at length before the 9.2 release, and this was
the best of several non-optimal solutions. These three libraries don't
change anything about that.
