+1 for this. I've also been wanting the option to have bash look in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME for the user-level bashrc and bash_logout. It's not much of a compatibility breaker unless you have multiple bash versions installed and actually use more than one of them interactively (or have stupid programs like scp that do so), in which case a symlink should work. Bash, openssh, and gnupg are the major things I use that still don't utilize XDG_*. .profile should probably stay where it is under ~.
