I am working in the debian package, and I have a problem with paths,
again.
The problem is with the configuration files (/etc in debian). See the
previous thread here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wmaker-dev@lists.windowmaker.org/msg01432.html
In this debian package version (0.95.3), I will continue using
/etc/GNUstep/Defaults, to avoid delay in the package creation. But, I
think that I should change the folder in future versions in upstream.
The main problem is the uniformity between the files in /etc and the
files in $HOME, because they should be the same structure. OTOH
WindowMaker don't have relation with GNUstep now, therefore, we should
change the GNUstep to "other thing", probably WindowMaker or wmaker.
IMO, I prefer configuration files starting with dot in my home
directory, therefore ".WindowMaker" or ".wmaker" could be a good idea,
using then /etc/WindowMaker or /etc/wmaker.
I think that we can make the change, because WindowMaker can search the
configuration files using different folders (see defaults.c), and then,
we can read the files at /home/user/.wmaker, if not exists, then at
/home/user/GNUstep, else, the common files at /etc/wmaker, else
/usr/.../WindowMaker/.
Saludos,
kix
