Comment 4 for bug 1456597

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?
