That does make some sense.
Though I think the best solution is to fix things so that we don't need
$CHOICESPATH anymore - we've had XDG basedir for over 2 years,
switching to it exclusively shouldn't risk breaking things anymore.=20

There are Worse Things about - for example, the themes for OroboROX
do this:
if [ x"$CHOICESPATH" =3D x"" ] ; then
  XDG_CONFIG_HOME=3D"$HOME/.config"
else
  XDG_CONFIG_HOME=3D`echo $CHOICESPATH | sed s/:.*//`
fi

Which is entirely the wrong thing if you have $XDG_CONFIG_HOME set to
something other than ~/.config.

I think the Right Thing is to reduce both to:
OROBOROX_CONFIG_HOME=3D${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/rox.sourceforge.net/Or=
oboROX
