System configuration ignored when user's configuration exists

[ferenczy]

When there's only the system-wide configuration file /etc/grc.conf, it works fine. But when I create a user-specific configuration ~/.grc/grc.conf, the system-wide configuration stops working.

So the only way to keep it working and add the user-specific configuration at the same time is to copy the system-wide configuration /etc/grc.conf into ~/.grc/grc.conf.

This was actually by design, though you are probably right, user-then-system rules would be probably useful. But what to do if the user wants to override the system configuration?

Hi,

You can use a system-then-user rule :

• search in system configuration
• search in user configuration
• get the last one
