[wplug] Redhat, Fedora, and home folders...

[John Harrold]

Sometime in August Bill Moran assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| I've noticed that KDE and Gnome try to be good about keeping their configs
| safe.  Gnome will make new . directory for each version to keep configs
| seperate, for example.  Also, the XML format of their text configs makes
| it very easy for an older version to ignore config options that it doesn't
| understand.

I've noticed this too, I was just trying to speculate about his concerns.

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
