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

[Shining Scream]

Hi

Thanks for your reply!

I read the specifications you mentioned. Setting the XDG_* variables fixes 
the problem. However, it appears that Grisbi doesn't follow the 
specifications with regard to unset XDG variables. It states, for example:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user 
specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is 
either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used. 

In my case (where $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is NOT set but $HOME is set to 
/home/foo/temp), shouldn't Grisbi default to /home/foo/temp/.config rather 
than /home/$USER/.config?

ciao
