Currently, our app-defaults stuff is in /etc/X11/app-defaults, but most man pages specify /usr/X11R6/share/app-defaults. > /usr/X11R6/share is not explicit part of FHS (at least for version 2.2). Historical XFree place for app-defaults is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. FHS requires /etc, so since XFree 4 we have /etc/X11/app-defaults. For compatibility /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults should be a symlink to this directory. 4.4 /usr/X11R6: X Window System, Version 11 Release 6 (optional) 4.4.1 Purpose This hierarchy is reserved for the X Window System, version 11 release 6, and related files. ... 4.4.2 Specific Options Host-specific data in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 should be interpreted as a demonstration file. Applications requiring information about the current host must reference a configuration file in /etc/X11, which may be linked to a file in /usr/X11R6/lib.[17] -- Stanislav Brabec -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
