The overlaying approach is quite disturbing - we try to avoid packages poking in users' directories. Why is it necessary - can you not prepend a directory to XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and use a system location? Generally things should be looking (or copying from) there.

What have you done with those desktop files? How do you plan on keeping up to date with changes in the packages they come from?

[Martin Wimpress (flexiondotorg)]

The packages that have overlays do not have system configuration capabilities. Previously I was putting the configs into /etc/skel but some sponsors were uncomfortable with that, and reasonably so, so I made the overlays. The overlays only work in a MATE sessions and will not overwrite pre-existing configuration. This overlay approach was previously approved by a sponsor. I am working withthe upstreams to add system configuration to the applications.

Again the desktop files onlh affect the MATE session. Some are now hidden in MATE because they are directly integrated or the categorisation has been changed slightly to remove duplicate menu entries or correct the placement in the System menus. Again, I working with upstreams to change this where possible.
