That was my first feeling about it too. But after further reflection it seems rather minor. 98% (or so) of people will use the defaults, just as they do now with the environment variables, so it makes no difference. For the rest, having a few extra dot directories in $HOME is still a far cry from the smörgåsbord of dot files we have in there today. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
