There is enough configuration stuff with LinuxCNC, that we should have a configuration directory (which I am pretty sure we do), so how about: ~/.linuxcnc/themes >>> Anybody got suggestions/comments >> >> It's awkward to mix rip builds and system modifications of this >> kind. >> >> LinuxCNC requires a number of system modifications, most notably the >> ulimit memlock increase in /etc/security/limits.d.

I would also populate the users ~/.linuxcnc the first time the user runs LinuxCNC and the ~/.linuxcnc is non-existant. I typically run on multi-user systems and design software that first goes to a standard configuration directory (say /etc/linuxcnc/*) and then will overlaod those with user preferences if there is something there like ~/.linuxcnc.
