Description Roland Stigge 2010-06-20 15:07:38 UTC 
Hi,

at Debian, someone reported that dia doesn't comply with xdg_config. See also

http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

and

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510249

Just in case you decide that this request is useful. Otherwise, I will also close the bug at Debian.

Thanks for considering,

bye,
  Roland

The nice with standards is: there are so many too choose from ;)
But serious: patch which replaces the current use of g_get_homedir() with the xdg aware variants g_get_user_data_dir() etc. has to include updates to the documentation, the install scripts and finally the code. I'm not sure the effort is worth the result but will consider patches when they come.
Comment 2 Hans Breuer 2010-07-04 12:23:35 UTC 
BTW: AFAIK the code in question is older than the standard, so I do not consider the current behaviour a bug.
