I'd prefer to limit updates to GNOME only, so it would be desirable to
get GNOME patched. It's easier to test if one desktop works well when
patched than trying to test the whole world of other desktops (and
probably forget something). So make this change self-contained rather
than system wide.

Otherwise I'm in favour of updates, these days it's pretty standard
to even change the UI during life cycle of product and actually, users
usually call for it (recently for example the OS in my STB changed
from scratch and I was eagerly waiting for it ;-). Of course, it needs
to be communicated to users.
