I cannot see any other package owning these files, so I can add them to
fedora-jam-kde-theme.

Is there a right way to do this? I tried to find one but I couldn't see
an option in kickstart to make this happen. I could probably provide a
patch to firstboot (I think this would be really useful) but obviously
it will be too late for this release. Or is this something which should
go into pam or somewhere else?
Alternatively we could add this to %post in jack-audio-connection-kit
but I'm not sure if this is considered safe in a critical-path package

Thankyou! Hopefully all the changes you've requested should be done by
Wednesday.
I think the notifications system in the wiki is suspect and is probably
something that needs attention. I should raise a ticket
