The question remains: How is a user-started process (e. g. when you run the "startx" command) supposed to create directory entries and files on root level /, a thing that only root and root-like users (and programs!) should be allowed to? % mkdir /.config mkdir: /.config: Permission denied As a normal user, you _intendedly_ can't do this. Why would you assume that a program you start can do it? Creating such data structures in a _user_ directory is completely okay. But in / it simply sounds WRONG. Sorry.
