[rox-devel] Rox Choices and Xdg

[seventh g. <sev...@gm...>]

Hi list! I started using rox a few days ago, and it's a really good app.

But there's one annoying thing: it places an unhiden config dir in the
home dir: ~/Choices/. I searched the manual pages, the site, etc, but
there's no single info on how to change this. So I went to the source
code, and voila: $CHOICESDIR. I really sugest someone to put this info
in the man, as many users don't understand c..

Well, having used xfce for some time (and its crappy file manager) I
found one good thing about it: it complies with some of the xdg specs.
The one useful here is the base dir layout. So there's only one global
"every-app" var, similar to $CHOICESDIR ->> $XDG_CONFIG_DIR. And
that's ~/.config/ by default. So we should have no problems in
changing it, if no one goes against that, and it would benefit every
one, and cause no major trouble..

Please go to http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6=
.html
and take a look. If everyone likes it, I suggest we go for it.
