But the whole purpose of the "gnome-edit" wrapper was to call the
preferred editor as selected in the GNOME Control Centre, well at
least in GNOME 1.x before it mysteriously disappeared in the GNOME 2.0
packages. It would be counter-intuitive to make users use Debian's
alternatives system when they believe the option has already been
configured within the desktop environment itself.
