In general I think it is a good idea to have all the settings and other stuff, e.g. grass-addons, in one single folder, and not scattered around. But that is a design change already implemented in grass7. Since there seems to be a majority to not introduce these changes to 6.x, I will revert the changes I did to 6.5 and also change some backports from trunk to 6.x regarding the file where wxGUI settings are stored, i.e. 6.x shall use .grasswx6 as in pre-6.4.2. The status quo is thus for 6.x use .grassrc6 and .grasswx6, located in $HOME (%USERPROFILE% for Windows) and for 7 use .grass7/rc and .grass7/wx, located in $HOME (grass7\rc and grass7\wx, located in %APPDATA% for Windows) BTW, the NSIS script for the Windows installer should IMHO not change the location and file name of GISRCRC, this should be defined at as few places as possible for easier maintenance (grass.py for trunk).
