I think you can live well without the non-configurable directory, if the
system-wide defaults are ok for you (I'm not sure, but I guess the
default installation doesn't copy this dir to ~/G/L/A); the problem is
that the config file ~/G/L/A/pager has these hardcoded references:

*PagerXPM            0
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/non-configurable/desk0/background
*PagerXPM            1
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/non-configurable/desk1/background
*PagerXPM            2
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/non-configurable/desk2/background
*PagerXPM            3
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/non-configurable/desk3/background

Thus, maybe you can remove the non-configurable dir, provided you change
the pager config file accordingly. (haven't tried this, just guessing)
