The program doesn't always use the correct config files or directories unless
explicitly told to. The ebuild says to go
cd /var/lib/gimps && /opt/gimps/mprime
if you are not using the init scripts, but this doesn't actually work.
It uses /opt/gimps/mprime for its config folder unless you pass it the additional
/opt/gimps/mprime -w/var/lib/gimps
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge gimps
Start and stop the init script.
cd /var/lib/gimps
/opt/gimps/mprime -m
After changing something in the menus, two sets of config files are created, one
in /var/lib/gimps and one in /opt/gimps.
I symlinked the two sets files to be the same thing, until I discovered the -w
option. It seems like the ebuild should create the symlinks itself or say that
the -w option is needed when not using the init scripts.
