I think we crossed meanings somewhere along the way.  From my view,
*all* of the desktop files are "below" ~/.config and /etc, because they
are in directories that come later in the list (in precedence order).

I don't mean "below" in the sense of "inside of exactly the same
directory".


I suspect we should make sure we understand the same thing before
proceeding further :)
