How about this:
<p>
Configuration files for window, display, or session managers
or other applications that are tightly integrated with the X
Window System may be placed in a subdirectory of
<file>/etc/X11/</file> corresponding to the package name.
Other X Window System applications should use the
<file>/etc/</file> directory for configuration files unless
otherwise mandated by policy (such as for <ref
id="appdefaults">).
