I've been doing some research on what config files are affected/required when you make various GUI tweaks - like adding the cpu-temp widget, or adding a launcher, activating a menu entry, or setting something to run via autostart. X and wayfire already use different config files for some things. And now there's lab-wc.
I have some customizations that I like to apply to all of my pi’s, others that I need to apply to each pi running my kiosk system. I would like all of my tweaks to just work, whichever of the three systems I choose - x11, wayfire, or labwc. Ideally, I could switch at will between any of the three via raspi-config, and everything of mine would just work and look the same. I can’t see how to do this except by having ALL possible config files pre-deployed.
So, I plan to collect ALL such config files, with the appropriate tweaked settings for each of the three gui systems, into skeletal versions of /home/pi/ or /etc - dotted with files in various subdirectories like .config or .local or plymouth, and then overlay the whole thing over a stock image. (I have to hope that nothing will conflict.) Unless someone has kindly compiled a table of all such config settings across the three, I was going to continue my own research, reading docs when possible, grepping around in ~ and /etc, and, if necessary, making changes via gui tools under each system in turn and seeing which files got touched.
It would be nice if sdm could speak all three languages, at least for those settings it currently handles (hint, hint). It would be fabulous if the RPi-supplied tools including raspi-config could make changes for all three too.
