Having received a little advice from an XDG type. I think that the
above is probably the way to go at least for now.
This means, and it was suggested, that we add this to the configure
script's parameters:
--xdgdir=DIR
so that for KDE I could set it to:
--xdgdir=/etc/xdg.kde3
It is not sufficient to use: "--sysconfdir=DIR" since this only changes
the location of: "etc" and it is ONLY the xdg stuff that we want to
install in a DeskTop specific directory.
It would be best if KDE then used the "xdgdir" as the default location
for xdg.
Perhaps using: "xdg.kde3" should be the default.
