Do that for your tools in
/etc/profile.d/01-xdg, make it executable, restart, done. Just make sure theXDG_*variables are on top.Lots of tools ignore xdg, and issues asking to add support get bogged down in backwards compatibility problems. The best they achieve is to introduce yet another env variable to control where the config goes. It's really annoying.
I have a bunch of
TOOLX_CONFIG="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/toolx"stuff in my bashrc.Yes? Most workarounds are in the link. If not, please add them.
But sure, some have none.
