Well, then here it is.... In my ~/.config/ I have the following non-FPC projects config files * enchant * f-spot * google-chrome * indicators * helix * gnome-disk-utility * gnome-session * gnome-mplayer * gtk-2.0 * softwarecenter * totem * vlc * ubuntuone * WebIssues * ...Qt too... there is a Trolltech.conf file, but not in a separate directory All non-FPC apps Michael! So the word is spreading. ;-) > So: Norms ?

I do know Midnight Commander (console file manager) is probably as old as Linux, and it too creates /tmp/mc-graemeg/ directory for any temp files it creates. That's a non-FPC app too. So I really don't understand your issue with what I said... maybe "norm" was not the correct word to use then? PS: I didn't get the /tmp/<program>-<user>/ information from freedesktops.org or any other website for that matter, I simply saw it created by a few linux applications I use, so thought I would mention it, as it is similar to what Jonathan suggested. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net:8080/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
