That makes sense I guess. Also, allowing the user to change their directory using $XDG_CONFIG_HOME makes sense. The part that scares me is that if this is implemented, it could be argued that one should also support $XDG_DATA_DIRS and the other related variables. This will require substantial work, since some of these can be paths, which might cause further headaches. > > James > -- > GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) > > iEYEARECAAYFAkUi6xIACgkQDb3UpmEybUAYGQCfSuI1wgVIrWI56w/HDwaAg9xK > 0KAAn1dlYrJx0KjqMjHFS7WNLC867ct9 > =zdnY > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
