If we will use XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIR, then no problem.
At the start desktop environment will look for files in the following order:
1. ~/.config/${XDG_CONFIG_PREFIX}xdg-settings.ini
2. ~/.config/xdg-settings.ini
3. /etc/xdg/${XDG_CONFIG_PREFIX}xdg-settings.ini
4. /etc/xdg/xdg-settings.ini
So, if user config not exists then global settings will be used from
/etc/xdg.
