I'm broadly in favour of this, but for the data and config parts, just using the new paths isn't enough - you also need to either migrate data/configuration from "legacy" locations, or read both. As a result, this change should happen somewhat carefully, and upstream-first. (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/XDGConfigFolders is the equivalent of this request for GNOME.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
