According to the man page when i3 starts it should look for the configuration file in ~/.config/i3/config in the first place. This file is present and readable in my system, however it looks for ~/.i3/config instead. Reproducible: Always

you're right. Man seems to be outdated. stat("/home/xarth/.i3/config", 0x7ffffeed4cc0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/home/xarth/.config/i3/config", 0x7ffffeed4cc0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/etc/i3/config", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=4990, ...}) = 0 However, there's nothing for me to fix.
