Hi all,

While installing xfig-3.2.5 I faced a strange problem with my build
script. Xorg puts the app-defaults directory at
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. I try to enforce this by creating a
$DESTDIR/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults and making
$DESTDIR/etc/X11/app-defaults a symlink to it. But after a "make
install" I find $DESTDIR/etc/X11/app-defaults has become a directory and
$DESTDIR/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults now is a symlink to that. The two of
them just switched roles. Tarring that up and untarring it in root
results, predictably, in an error. I've changed my script now so that it
can cope with that (swapping them around before tarring up), but that
still leaves one question:

Where is the app-defaults directory supposed to live? The FHS doesn't
really cover this.
