maintainer-feedback requested: [Bug 208400] x11/gnome3: gtk-3.0 directory not being created for new users

Dan Bright <freebsd at zaziork.com> has reassigned Bugzilla Automation
<bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s request for maintainer-feedback to gnome at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 208400: x11/gnome3: gtk-3.0 directory not being created for new users
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208400



--- Description ---
When logging into Gnome shell for the first time as a new user in FreeBSD
10.2-Release (not tested elsewhere), the user's ~/.config/gtk-3.0 directory,
together with the settings.ini file, are not being created.

This results in an "error in writing settings" message when attempting to
switch to the Global Dark Theme in: Gnome tweak tool -> Appearance. The theme
remains unchanged.

The work around is for the new user to manually create the directory and file:

$ mkdir ~/.config/gtk-3.0 && touch ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Following creation of above, the theme changes correctly and the error is
resolved.
