           Summary: configuration files in wrong "$HOME" directory
           Product: Xfce
           Version: unknown
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: piotr5 at netscape.net


older versions did search for configuration-files in the directory
indicated by the environment variable $HOME, while this version does
use ~$USER/ or whatever the operating system does report. this is
clearly a bug in my opinion (if not just an inconsistency), as it
does prevent the user from selecting his own favourite location for
configuration-files within a session. I would be happy if future versions
would at least use the $HOME variable thereby allowing me to have multiple
configuration-files for a single user, especially as KDE and GNOME suffer
from the same bug, and actively developed alternatives are getting rare...
