Windowmaker does the same.. That said, were ION ever ported to something like directfb, the 'X11' bit wouldn't make sense anymore, and there's nothing wrong with "/etc/ion3" in the FHS. Incidentally, software *packages* should NEVER touch /usr/local, since this is where you're supposed to safely put your own stuff without packages overwriting it. > /usr/etc isn't even mentioned in the FHS For an application installed under '/usr', this wouldn't be entirely unheard of, but since some people like to make '/usr' readonly (on thin client stations, it's not even local!), it would probably annoy a lot of people. > Ah /etc/X11 is even mentioned as a place for config files from windows > manager: > > Subdirectories of /etc/X11 may include those for xdm and for any other > programs (some window managers, for example) that need them.
