If the programs in question implement the XDG base directory spec properly, then putting `export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.program` in your .profile will make them put config files in .program, not .config.



Charming idea :) I'm not actually that annoyed that I will set XDG_CONFIG_HOME to $HOME, but I'll keep it in mind.
