Description William Jon McCann 2012-04-26 13:30:20 UTC 
Currently we read flags icons from HOME
        gtk_icon_theme_append_search_path (ind_config->icon_theme, sp =
                                           g_build_filename (g_get_home_dir
                                                             (),
                                                             ".icons/flags",
                                                             NULL));

We should probably use the XDG base directory standard locations instead.

Comment 1 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2012-04-26 13:56:17 UTC 
Agreed. Will fix that.
Comment 2 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2012-04-28 12:37:29 UTC 
Thanks, fixed! Now it is $XDG_DATA_HOME/icons/flags ($HOME/.local/share/icons/flags)
