What does the Linux Base or the FHS say about this ? If RPMs are to be made, you cannot install to /usr/local. That's only for locally built applications from source, and tarballs. What Alex is suggesting makes sense when you build from tarballs. RPMs will be installed in totally different locations. Detect is not a X program so the configuration files should not be in /etc/X11. Only the X11 front-ends should be.
