Let me remind you that GNOME is not an operating system. It is just a
frontend.
It is nice if it provides a nice shiny tool to configure stuff; but it
has no business *storing*, and *applying* such settings, which don't
really have anything to do with GNOME at all. These should be pushed
down to some generic infrastructure, which is not desktop-specific, and
in fact not X-specific at all.
Unfortunately, it appears that such a generic session-aware hotplug
infrastructure is yet to be invented...
