Hi,
Configurable at compile-time is not a valid option for most Linux users.
Similarly, are you saying that Flatpak packages cannot be made with GNUstep applications?
Right now, Flatpak is the de facto standard for distributing applications in the stores of the most popular distributions.
It will be difficult to attract the attention of developers under these conditions.

That is, IIRC, configurable at compile-time, is it not?

Maybe I am completely wrong, but GNUstep's approach to storing user preferences doesn't follow the freedesktop recommendations.
The freedesktop recommendation, suggest using ~/.config for user-specific configuration files (~/.config/GNUstep/Preferences), GNUstep, however, uses its own convention with the ~/GNUstep directory. Regards, Albert

Some of the problems you are raising can be solved (on Linux and BSD) by ensuring that the desktop follows the recommendations of freedesktop.org.
I normally stay completely out of these discussions on the mailing list but this one sentence caught my interest. Are you indicating that there is a recommendation on freedesktop.org that GNUstep should be following but at the moment isn’t? For years I have tried to implement everything from there that seemed useful to us. I admit that I have neglected this task over the last few years. I still follow the freedesktop mailing list, though. And there nothing important came up in that time.It really would help if you could be a bit more specific.Cheers,Fred
