Description antistress 2008-03-16 22:36:58 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
I've found that nautilus-scripts directory in GNOME 2.22 (Ubuntu Hardy alpha 6)
is ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts which doesn't match FreeDesktop directories specs :

The default for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is $HOME/.config, the default for
$XDG_DATA_HOME is $HOME/.local/share. So all applications should look for those
environment variables and use those default values if the variables are not
set.
