   These three keys don't sound very wholesome.  Generally, keys in 2) are    
   placed by applications for their use.  Any application install that is    
   setting a key called 'goodpork="check" doesn't sound very useful.    
   Generally, I'll delete any key that I don't recognize or know what it's    
   for.  If something breaks, it's easy enough to restore an archived    
   desktop with the missing keys or just reinstall the broken application.
