Comment # 2 on bug 1099800 from Michael Vetter

This probably is due to LXQt changing the default configuration paths from eg
/etc/xdg/lxqt/lxqt.conf to /usr/share/lxqt.conf

AFAIK the binary should check both locations.

On my system where I upgraded from an old installatoin it probably just uses
the old configuration files in /etc.

On the new install where the configs are only in /usr/share it seems not to
detect them.

Have to find out how the looking for configs is done, maybe it's some XDG
variable.
