Xfce CVS makes tons of dir in the home dir.(4.0.6 only made ~/.xfce4)
.cache
.config
.local
.themes
.xfce4

Can you all throw your stuff in ~/.xfce4 or ~/.config/xfce4
Comment 1 Brian J. Tarricone (not reading bugmail) 2004-08-22 06:43:04 CEST
.cache, .config, and .local are defined by the XDG directory structure specs,
which we're tentatively planning on supporting. probably not until 4.4 though,
so xfce4-session and xfdesktop (menu cache) should probably get moved back to
~/.xfce4. ~/.themes is a toolkit standard, so there's not much we can do about
that. as for ~/.local, i don't recall what's being put in there (another XDG
thing, IIRC).

I did not know you where tring to follow a standard with the new folder
setup.Somebody has to make the first step in using a standard to get other to
do the same.I knew about the ~/.config folder but the others I did not know
where apart of the same standard.If I remember right ~/.xfce4 goes into the
~/.config folder.

I believe ~/.local is being made by some part of xfce.I deleted the folder in
my login terminal and then started xfce and it appeared in my home dir.

Batting 0/3 on the bug tracker :(

Everything should no follow the basedir spec.
