Let me rephrase this: KDE already does the right thing. GNOME seems to finally be getting there. Why do I need custom configuration for xmonad?

Okay, I really am trying to play nice. You know my opinion on $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and my reasons therefore. This particular user http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0606/21877.html seems okay with setting a littany of environment variables in his .profile. Would an $XMONAD_HOME work for you? In case you're curious why I am okay with this option: This way, it's an explicit choice by the user, and not something thrust upon him by his particular platform that we then have to discover during an IRC support session.
