Issue 501 in xmonad: Feature request: Support user-defined XMonad data directory path

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 501 by jmilli...@gmail.com: Feature request: Support user-defined XMonad data directory path http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=501 Attached is a patch to make xmonad try to read its data directory from an environment variable XMONAD_DIR. This lets xmonad be used on systems with unusual configurations for /home, such as the 'noexec' option or a network-mounted filesystem. If the environment variable is not defined, it will fall back to the existing logic. Attachments: xmonad-dir-from-environment.patch 774 bytes

Comment #1 on issue 501 by daniel.w...@gmail.com: Feature request: Support user-defined XMonad data directory path http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=501 Might be worth following the XDG basedir spec (http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html) instead. The xdg-basedir package on Hackage makes this pretty easy.
