I'm not sure what you mean. The config file is read by the program run
on login that creates/updates directories. Nothing else should really
read it. Why would they want to do that anyway? For instance, the users
~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file might be totally manually written and not
generated from the config at all.
Right, the [ -f ] should never be neeeded, but if root needs to do some
manteinance on a home dir by any chance, this make it easier.
I am thinking that the default user config file should read the /etc
version to
take the defaults if the user hasn't decided to tweak them. The file could
be
easily provided by /etc/skel. Functionality would be as simple as removing
the config file. (Read: opt-in approach, with everybody opted-in by
default).
