10.7. Configuration files
-------------------------
10.7.1. Definitions
-------------------
configuration file
A file that affects the operation of a program, or provides site-
or host-specific information, or otherwise customizes the
behavior of a program. Typically, configuration files are
intended to be modified by the system administrator (if needed or
desired) to conform to local policy or to provide more useful
site-specific behavior.
Something that causes X to interpret my key strokes, and
insert characters, is definitely a configuration file.
Why else would X authors create a file where key bindings are
defined, if it was not meant to be modified by the local admin or
users? They could easily have hardcoded it in code were it not meant
to be modifiable at run time.
Frankly, I fail to see how you can call a run time changeable
key bindings anything but a configuration file.
And policy is pretty clear on what is or is not a
configuration file as well.
So, this is serious, but you may also set it to be
sarge-ignore, as is your prerogative.
