Because they get setup the first time the user logs into GNOME - you don't want it done every time - a user could delete the icons, and then find them reappearing the next time they login.
No allow both
I'd really prefer to make it one or the other - simplicity is the foil to the confusion generated by the goodness of choice in Free Software.
Is this version of Gnome going to actually work oris it going to be yet another you need this lib Oh you need that lib and Oh package-config dont exist and a whole host of other complaints that are the norm from Gnome , i tried the upgrade to Gnome 2.6 and bingo SNAFU it gets a little erksom at times .. to say the least.
Well, ULB GNOME has always been a drop-in replacement for the SuSE packages supplied in a given distro version, so it fixes issues, changes defaults, that sort of thing (eg under ULB GNOME, the default browser is Galeon, not Epiphany or Mozilla depending on where you click).
And, my recommended installation method is APT, which sorts out the dependencies for you. (Or, it will do so as soon as the FTP edition is available ;) )
Humm apt now theres another minefield never had it work sucsessfully once alwyas had to resort the downloading the rpm´s and installing by hand to sort it out .
