Bug Description
As far as I know there are three IM open source clients supporting Adium theme
styles: kopete, empathy, and pidgin with pidgin-webkit plugin (I think there
are some less known ones, but I don't know about them exactly). It would be
awfully nice if all of them used one location for these styles, so that exactly
same styles don't have to be on the disk multiple times.
Currently it seems that these clients look for styles at
kopete ... $PREFIX/
empathy ... $PREFIX/
pidgin-webkit ... $PREFIX/
(and its $HOME and /usr/local equivalents, at least kopete and empathy should
be able to look in all three locations).
It seems to me that from these the Empathy location looks like the most
sensible and the least program-specific one, so I would suggest it to be
central location for Adium compatible styles.
Would it be possible that your program would also look for (in addition to your
current location) for Adium compatible styles in (in this order)
/usr/local/
$HOME/.
Thank you

Note that Empathy uses standard XDG locations for the $PREFIX. I search in $XDG_DATA_HOME and $XDG_DATA_DIRS. You can get those dirs using g_get_user_
