[arch-general] Method to redirect hidden config files in ~
awhile back, i believe it was on this list, there was some messages about cleaning up the .<files> in your HOME folder... can someone point me in the right direction here? i swear all i needed to do was export the proper VARS but i cannot seem to find the info now. thanks, C Anthony

It can be achieved by preloading this library: http://ordiluc.net/fs/libetc/ Since I am not using it I can't tell how well it works. Maybe someone else can.

Or do you mean this approach for certain directories: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs

You are thinking of the xdg user directories vars set in the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs
