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
.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.
