Well, gnunetd does generate exactly such a configuration file (gnunet-gtk
however does not). As for renaming gnunet-gtk to gnunet, I don't think that
is a good idea. If a user is unsure which binary to run, well,
gnunet-TAB-TAB will show a list and then the man-pages can help explain which
one does what. Just running gnunet-gtk btw, is not quite sufficient since
you also have to start gnunetd -- and in particular for the first run when
gnunetd may not yet be configured I'd think it'd be unwise to say that it can
'just' be started from gnunet-gtk.
Anyway, I hope all of these configuration/setup issues will improve once
gnunet-setup is implemented (not that I have a clear timeline for that or
anything). If you want to help with gnunet-setup, please do so -- patches
are always welcome.
