I know that is not an easy step, but a very long and complicated step. Please send me to a standard draft that say that a app configuration file must stay on $HOME/. I have not seen this standard anywhere. I know that this is the tradition and traditions are very hard to be broken.
Why will be good is that this to be a recommendation from LSB and in this way all new programs will use the new path instead of using the old (traditional) path and in time all software will use the new path for keeping settings.
