Yeah. Also another thing I did was rewrite some of the Gnome functions
they used, like the pixmap loading function (allowing you to provide a
customized pixmap instead of the default "keys" icon). So with my
version the -i command-line option works :)

Nope, right now it's always built and installed. That's probably a good
idea, although I guess that if somebody doesn't want to have the ability
to su, they could just remove the binaries from the image. The scripts
shouldn't choke on this.

I kept it dynamic, although it can be built static. However for some
reason, it completely refused to start up when built static (lots of
very odd GTK+ errors before a segfault). But just depending on the core
GTK libraries is acceptable, as we are already doing this for the
setup.gtk binaries. So I think dynamic binaries are fine in that case.
It also allows themes and that kind of thing...
