configuration file, with dot or gnome structure

[Mohsen Pahlevanzadeh <mohsen pahlevanzadeh org>]

Sorry for the previous email and key problem....

Dear all,

You know that if install a package, may be it creates a directory in
your home directory which begin dot. Such as .purple (pidgin appl)
Recently i see many of appl such as evolution don't use this method and
use .local .gnome2 .gnome or so on.
I don't know different between them and don't know any idea on them, dot
or gnoem configuration.

I'm starting to write a appl with GTK and confused to decide dot method
or gnome structure. if gnome structure is better, can you give me clue
about its APIs?

Yours,
Mohsen
