'Twas brillig, and Arun Raghavan at 23/07/12 05:16 did gyre and gimble:

3. Make paprefs do it when it adds the rygel module...

I'll volunteer to do this if this is the best solution, but really I'd
rather avoid doing any major paprefs changes!

So maybe option 1 would be good for v3.0. If approved I will do this.
