#7399 closed Bug report

configuration files in linux are not located according to the freedesktop guidelines — at Initial Version

Description

Configuration files should be in $HOME/.config/package/ as per the freedesktop guidelines:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used.

See here: http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html for more details.

I think this is a fairly easy task to do, and if everybody followed these guidelines we could maybe finally get rid of all these .dirs in the home directory.
