--- Comment #1 from Guido Falsi <madpilot@FreeBSD.org> ---
Please file this patch with upstream and sign their contributor agreement a=
nd
let's see if there are comments.

The port is already diverging enough from upstream (also due to their strict
policy accepting patches), but this one, if accepted in principle, being yo=
ur
original work could be accepted upstream, at least from a licensing aspect.

Anyway I'm not going to consider this change if there is no upstream pull
request.

While I again have no strong opinions about the change your justification "I
don't want crap in ~ and /var" is hardly a good reason for a global change.

Your personal preferences not necessarily reflect the users general consens=
us.
We cannot modify ports to tailor them for each individual user, The
.xsession-errors request was already borderline IMHO. I'm trying to accommo=
date
your requests but I really cannot fork lightdm just to move around all its =
dot
files.=20

I also have not understood your "Simple hack:" part, not the comment about
profile. Can you explain exactly what you mean? what you expect and trying =
to
achieve?

Please note that I'm not an expert about the intricacies of Xorg dot files,=
 so
please give comprehensive explanations and at least some reference to offic=
ial
documentation and standard where these files are expected/allowed to live.
Personal preferences are not really that relevant.
