Alternative Config Locations?

[sfalken]

In #66 it looks like you've implemented a -C switch to specify alternative configuration locations, but either it's not working, or I don't understand how it's supposed to work.

Just for example, the reason I want to do so, is that labwc is one of the compositors that lxqt-wayland is supporting. The upstream configuration is putting it's user configs in ~/.config/labwc which is labwc's default configuration location.

The problem is, if you've got users that want to use labwc with, and without lxqt, it means that lxqt's configurations are going to be the same ones that you get in a raw labwc session.

So what we've done on Fedora and openSUSE, is moved lxqt's configurations to ~/.config/lxqt/labwc which will allow the bare labwc session to keep it's configs in the default location, and only use lxqt specific configs when using labwc in conjunction with the lxqt-labwc-session.

So tl;dr I tried launching labwc-tweaks with variations of labwc-tweaks -C lxqt/labwc labwc-tweaks -C .config/lxqt/labwc labwc-tweaks -C ~/.config/lxqt/labwc/ etc.

None of them seem to actually work, so this could completely be me misunderstanding how this works.

(Note: I haven't packaged up the latest git pull, so I still have the qt.svg error, but I don't think that has anything to do with the issue.)

Looking at it LABWC_CONFIG_DIR=.config/labwc-test/ labwc-tweaks works here.
So maybe it's enough you set this env var for Fedora and openSuse in startlxqtwayland in the labwc condition?
