It doesn't seem that you've read what I said. "ui.rc" is a very common name, 
so it's also very likely that more than one application uses that for its UI 
file. What would happen if you were to run that second application and it 
found the other one's ui.rc?

I agree that it should be possible to tell the application where to find them, 
just as you do with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or other similar environment variables. 
But do that by default for any application, even in a production environment, 
I don't think that's wise.

Think of PATH. It doesn't search the current directory unless you specificy it 
explicitly.
