Why not ?  I don't see any reason why a carefull-written conversion
script should not automatically update user configuration.  Just to
check: it's possible to have both a GNOME 1 and 2 configuration, and
most users will not have a GNOME 2 one ?

In which case automatically generating one (possibly after asking the
sysadmin whether this is a good idea) by converting the GNOME 1 config
would seem quite sensible.
