I don't think you need to make a laughlin-backgrounds-gnome-tod.
We should be able to properly spil stuff between laughlin-backgrounds-gnome
and laughlin-backgrounds-single as long as we can get a single xml file
to work for both cases.

I'd rather not see a conflicts. That is going to cause problems.

Is there someplace that describes the details of that xml file?
I am trying to search through the gnome documentation but haven't found
the reference for that file yet.
