We should made *this* configurable by debconf. As Debian (should) have security
as one goal, there's really no need for programs to have doors open to the
net. And which novice can use firewall rules under Linux?
(I doubt that gnome-session is programmed by someone who has security as
first position in mind this could easily lead to a windows like
crash-me-simply-attack problem)
