And, for the record, the reason this is super desirable is that to configure system-wide policy (e.g. when no one is logged in), we can re-use exactly the same configuration applets, e.g. for the g-p-m preference dialog you'd have a button [ Set these settings as system wide ] that would (possibly after auth) copy these settings to the system-wide preference area. For a single-user laptop probably this would be done by default. All this could (possibly) be useful on servers too; e.g. you could have the policy for g-v-m when no-one is logged in to automount media and share it on the local network via Avahi. Use case would be some system that have a CD with patches he needs 100 different servers to access; just pop in the disc and it's available on the network. But now I'm drifting off-topic....
