Okay.

configuration files that limit what the system sees before you run the
application, or even while it's running in most cases, though that wouldn't
be application specific but desktop wide.

Alright. I'll try parse some of the code in (argh, gmail in browser, can't
access other emails) that Font<something> code base you mentioned. To get
the idea. I don't hold much hope in success without some docs too.

sound like the best idea, sounds rather messy. You should probably just use
the functions provided by glib, unless you really want to avoid depending
on it for whatever reason.

Is there a known Python 2.7 package (i.e. available on most Linux package
systems) out there that will do this?

(Meanwhile, I'm searching for python + glib + XDG)

Thanks for your help!
