if .config is the future, then i wish not to stand in its way.  my
point was that as a unix nerd for 4 years now, this convention was
completely unfamilar and alien to me, and thus unfamiliar to the many.
 in fact, it appears to be an xfce-only convention.  should you not be
pushing this convention as debian policy so that there are not two
disparate config setting approaches, one of which almost all users
have never been exposed to?

i am willing to help push this convention forward, because actually
now that i've been exposed to it, it makes more sense to have a single
directory, rather than a mess in home.  let me know how i can help.

peace.

mike
