Path to configuration as startup option
Registered by

-------
I'm trying to install gdesklets on a live distro but I can't find any
configuration files apart from ~/.gdesklets which allow me to choice which
desklets to load and hide the first box message.
Is this possible to define a gdesklets configuration in /etc without hacking on
gdesklets source?
-------
Providing an alternative path to the configuration files as an startup option should solve this problem and be a good idea anyway ?!

Whiteboard
-A global (default?) display list in /etc should be lower in precedence than any user's home dir
-Where does the log file go? Configuration options? Certainly /etc/gdesklets shouldn't be world-writable...
