Anyway the only points brought out in that thread that I missed in my summary are: - Mentions XF86Config config file by name. But calls it optional and notes it's for version 4 of XFree86, and also mentions the old Xconfig file, so it seems x.org can slip in without problem although the current XF86Config-4 violates the FHS. - Over-specific new requirements for dotfiles. Could be weakened in debian policy to a recommendation (or requirement; makes Gnustep buggy) that config files in $HOME begin with a dot, and that throws out the other requirements. -- see shy jo
