Bug#787911: New patch

[Shmerl <shtetldik+shmerl@gmail.com>]

Not sure if anyone has proposed updated ways to do it, but I made a minimal patch that implements it

with fallback to legacy config. It's not trying to move anything, just using XDG base dir if it's a new installation

and picking legacy config if it already exists. It allows to start using it for fresh installs and not breaking it for old

ones which is a simple temporary compromise.

See attached.

Regards,

Shmerl.
