Having some config read for RH based, maybe someone else wants the same facility for Debian/Ubuntu/sidux, someone else for Slackware, and another one for FreeBSD. Now we have 4 different config readers in the mainstream. All of them should be maintained stable and tested, and 3 out of 4 of them are completely useless in any distro. Being LXDE oriented toward "small and efficient" software, I consider this as code bloat. If there is a FHS or a freedesktop.org specification for that, that should be implemented. Lacking that, only the base config should be used mainstream, and distro-specific code should be added by distro maintainers as distro-patches. Just IMHO.
