Maybe but some of us have multi-user configurations where it does not make
sense to keep a copy of the entire afterstep tree in every home directory.
I keep a global copy the desktop component of the tree and let each user
configure their wharf/look/feel etc in ~/G/L/A.
This setup breaks ascp as released but is fairly easy to accomodate. I set
ASLOCATION to the root of the global desktop tree and use $HOME + "/G/L/A"
as the root for wharf etc.
Cheers,
Stephen.
