[grisbi-user] Grisbi does not honor $HOME [repost]

[Guillaume Castagnino]

Hi,

$HOME/.apppname are the "old" unix convention. grisbi now uses the "new" standard promoted by freedesktop : http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

So grisbi env vars are computed from $XDG_* vars and not directly from $HOME

bye
