It could be in .config, it could be in .local, it could be in any of several different directories starting with .gnome or .kde, or it could still be loose in $HOME, or even sometimes it's hiding in /var (!) and that means that finding it is an exercise in frustration.Zack Weinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886144371565535869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134723925265805427.post-38827616117925382902013-02-20T09:28:22.867+02:002013-02-20T09:28:22.867+02:00@Zack: I disagree.

Also, having all files in .config and .local helps with backups.eddyphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986125106284142716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134723925265805427.post-91997779589947795772013-02-20T09:22:14.740+02:002013-02-20T09:22:14.740+02:00@Alex: Thanks, I corrected the typo.
