[vox-tech] conditional .gtkrc-2.0

[Dave Margolis]

OK,

I like that idea.  I'm going to need to:
1. test and see if .gtkrc-2.0 exists, if so remove it
2. determine which host i'm logged in from
3. create a symlink from the correct file to .gtkrc-2.0

Here's a dumb question: What environment variable or program tells me 
where I'm logged in from?
