There must be lots of configurations that could be usefully set: I can 
think of things like default printer, network proxy configuration, 
outgoing mail server etc. For every app that uses these, there should be 
a framework for the app to be notified of change. For example a weather 
applet should notice if the http proxy changes after I suspend my 
machine at home and resume it at work...

You might even want to run your security in a stricter mode when you are 
eg. at a public hot-spot vs. at work or at home with trusted peers; or 
have different screensaver / lock settings...
