Alternatives is a horrible solution to this problem. (In fact, alternatives is a horrible solution to ANY problem it is used on.) What's wrong with just dropping the defaults in /etc in the Product's live kickstart? (Yes, that assumes the Product is delivered as a live image. We really need to do away with those non-live installers. They only cause problems and have no practical benefits.) That's how we have always set /etc/sysconfig/desktop in the KDE image: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/spin-kickstarts.git/tree/fedora-live-kde-base.ks#n10 Those files should then never be automatically written to again, letting the local system administrator customize the settings to his or her liking.
