Immediately after posting my rant I went over to brainstorm, intending to propose that the installation of anything from extras-devel permanently change the desktop to a radiation danger symbol or something. (Requiring, say, a gconf-editor change to put back, along with a clue.)

Alas, the brainstorm server is down. Meanwhile, I think I'll switch to decaf for the afternoon.
