i must not understand the point, then.
> This is a discussion of desktop applications that manipulate content i believe it started out as internal settings [someone suggested a ~/.etc / registry etc solution e.g. gconfd] or maybe that was a different thread. ... anyway.
> All those apps *ask* you where to store the content. not necessarily - and, additionally, they typically have default locations where the content is asked to be stored, and the majority of users go "duhhhhhh, *click*". esp. windows users, for whom "duhhhh, *click*" means it ends up in "My Documents", or "The Desktop", etc. etc. and then they bitch like hell because they can't _find_ anything.
> Ok, some apps like gift don't ask where to save the content, some apps don't ask - but the "default" location is just as important, imo, as not being asked at all. l. -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
