Well, in all of those cases also they are applications. The user has the
ability to run them or not run even if they WEREN'T configurable. The
user can choose to run a different program that does the same thing.
Users have no choice with the Ubuntu updater. It either starts itself up
at inopportune times with no way to stop it, or you run an unsupported
gconf hack that will probably not even be available in a version or two
down the road.
