You're just begging for AOLisms here... I strongly agree. It just doesn't
work like, or look 'GNOME-two-ish' at all.

In terms of settings migration, perhaps we could have a standard method for
gnome-session to handle these. I've been looking at putting hooks into
Debian's gnome-session to run package-specific upgrade scripts for GNOME 1.x
settings -> the same thing could be used for CDE, XFCE, KDE, whatever-E.

Perhaps vendors could ship a migration control panel or something too,
should they feel that users need a button to press, or some kind of
interactivity in the process. In fact, the same control panel could be
popped up during first login, too.

Just thoughts,
