You are running a modern linux distro with only one file/dir in .local?

% cd ~/.local

cd: no such file or directory: /home/tammer/.local

% uname -s -r

Linux 3.4.7-1-ARCH

FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE - No ~/.local, ~/.config

FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE - No ~/.local, ~/.config

Linux 3.2.0-23 - No ~/.local, ~/.config

Linux 3.0.0-16 - No ~/.local, ~/.config

Linux 3.0.0-12 - No ~/.local, ~/.config

Honestly, I'd never even heard of this scheme before today.

I guess I should have said "a modern linux desktop environment." Are these shell boxes or desktops? In my experience the majority of propgrams that use this spec are gtk/qt programs.

PS Listing a kernel version does not really provide any information about your modern linux distro.
