> Suggestions welcome ;-) Put them somewhere in $XDG_CACHE_HOME, because they are files that shouldn't hurt anything if removed. The cookie/socket files may break the operation of running programs on your system, so probably shouldn't go in CACHE_HOME, but not sure where they should go. Putting logs in CONFIG_HOME is bad, as logs aren't config. It would be nice though, if there was an XDG_STATE_HOME, similar to var, where you could put state information, such as the cookies/sockets, and information currently being stored in configuration, which is actually state (window size/position, etc...). _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
