Ok, makes sense, thanks for the info! Also, it looks like if I want to 
keep things from "breaking" I need to set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS permanently 
(i.e. in someone's profile... and I think I'm going to be mean to FC and 
use /etc/profile.d :-)). I noticed it made my menu structure totally 
different, and now it went back (probably because I've been building 
other stuff).

Anyway, thanks again. :-)
