Thats got nothing to do with it.

Ronald was commenting on a possiblity that I hadn't quite grasped
and his problem with my solution is not ever going to be solved by
gconf.

Ronald: Point taken, but I still don't think it's much harder then.
We compile code to do all of them into the executable and set the
default to the correct one, but have an option menu with "Make bootable
Cd for" 

However, it is all fairly pointless posturing until there's actually
something concrete to work with.
