Maybe a general section on how to have your configuration be "upgraded" to the default configurations provided by new Gnome (or KDE) versions would be good. People might not notice that unless they remove (or move away) the following directories from their $HOME they will not get the new configuration shipped from Gnome (include some nice things like the "update" applet): drwx--S--- 4 jfs jfs 4096 2006-11-05 12:09 .gconf drwx--S--- 2 jfs jfs 4096 2006-11-05 12:09 .gconfd drwx--S--- 7 jfs jfs 4096 2006-10-03 21:11 .gnome drwx--S--- 15 jfs jfs 4096 2006-11-05 12:01 .gnome2 drwx------ 2 jfs jfs 4096 2005-08-23 10:37 .gnome2_private drwx------ 2 jfs jfs 4096 2005-10-08 12:10 .gnome_private Moving those will, of course, remove your preferences for the Desktop but for users that have not tinkered with them and want the default Debian preferences (including default fonts and behaviour) they are really not losing much.
