I have a more general question here:  Why is the config file in
$(HOME)/.config/patman  (instead for example $(HOME)/.patman) ?

My understanding is that $(HOME)/.config/ is defined by the XDG Base
Directory Specification - but patman has nothign to do with the X11
desktop - or has it?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
