I think he just means that conkeror (and other programs) need to somehow work out where config files should be stored. On *nixen, the default is for the environment variable HOME to point at the toplevel directory in which these should go. Unless I've misunderstood, this won't affect expansion of "~" (which I suspect gets handled lower down in the stack if at all on linux builds of conkeror). Rupert
