The problem is that doing what you propose is a release critical (RC)
bug: System-wide scripts _must not_ touch anything in a user directory.
This is per Debian Policy, and I'm strongly inclined to agree.

However, it is possible to include a user's preferences from a system-
wide conffile/script (see /etc/fonts/fonts.conf), so perhaps we could
check for the existence of a user's $HOME/gtkrc-2.0 then override any
problematic variables by setting them to null. Of course, these are
just musings at the moment.

Any additional suggestions?

Thanks,
