If we will use XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIR, then no problem.
At the start desktop environment will look for files in the following order:
  1. ~/.config/${XDG_CONFIG_PREFIX}xdg-settings.ini
  2. ~/.config/xdg-settings.ini
  3. /etc/xdg/${XDG_CONFIG_PREFIX}xdg-settings.ini
  4. /etc/xdg/xdg-settings.ini

So, if user config not exists  then global settings will be used from
/etc/xdg.
