SUMMARY While packaging Kolourpaint 25.07.80, it was noticed that it installs color scheme files in /etc/xdg/colors, which is a weird place for application-specific data. It would be vastly preferred if this was installed into a subdirectory of /usr/share/kolourpaint/ or similar application-specific data directory, so that it doesn't pollute the global /etc space and doesn't get incorrectly marked as user-modifiable config files rather than the data files they actually are. If these are intended to be global color scheme options, they should be installed in /usr/share somewhere instead of /etc along with the rest of the style data rather than with kolourpaint. OBSERVED RESULT Color schemes are installed in /etc/xdg/colors EXPECTED RESULT Color schemes are installed in /usr/share/kolourpaint/colors or similar private directory.
