Right, and the new XDG-related code looks too startup-specific to be

I was just thinking aloud that IWBNI definitions and/or environment
lookup code could be shared, but on second look that would be overkill
and not entirely applicable here.

What kind of non-Freedesktop-specific portability do you envision?
