IceWM: Configuration/Resource/Library Path

## 7. Configuration/Resource/Library Path

Many files in icewm are searched in library path. The path contains the following directories:

$HOME/.icewm

  user's personal customization

/etc/X11/icewm

  system-wide customized defaults

/usr/local/lib/X11/icewm

  compiled-in default directory with default files (for .rpm packages the default is /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icewm)

The directories are searched in the above order, so any file located in the system/install directory can be overridden by the user by creating the same directory hierarchy under `$HOME/.icewm`.
