Re: Wondering if ~/GNUstep shouldn't be ~/.GNUstep (i.e. hidden..)

[Fred Kiefer]

The actual bug report is about the directory ~/GNUstep/Library being
created. Has anybody an idea, why and where we create this without
adding any files to it?

BTW: I also have empty directories ~/.GNUstep/Library/Services and
~/.GNUstep/Defaults on my computer. No idea where these are coming from
either.
