In fact, I was looking at the Gnome sources yesterday at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ and there are about 650 packages. I would think a Gnome user (generally not me) would want to look for configuration files for all the related gnome packages that have config files in the same place. If there is only one config file, I'd think it would be: /etc/gnome/pkg1.cfg If there were more than one, /etc/gnome/pkg2/file1.cfg /etc/gnome/pkg2/file2.cfg and so forth. At least that's how I'd like to be able to look for config files. It's the way apache, samba, ssl, kde, and even joe works. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
