Good point, although for me this is a good argument for the opposite of what you intend. I want to be able to share my homes, but i do not want to share configurations. Different versions of programs behave differently. With XDG I can separate my data from my configuration. Thats it, i can have my pdfs and photos and downloads separated from my configuration. You could argue that I could have a directory under my Desktop called stuff, to pour my personal data only there and treat that separately. I much rather go with the standard :) Greets -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
