All contaminated things and events are unsatisfactory.

I found out about it thanks to awesomewm. I am a tiny bit confused. Are the two tricks you mention for use in application development (in general or specific to awesomewm?), or configuring your /etc/profile, .bashrc or something similar?

I just don't want to have bloated $HOME with lots of hidden files I didn't create. It is also convenient to backup ~/.config to your USB drive (other location) without checking out which hidden directory/file is needed and which isn't. The two tricks I mentioned at the end of article are quite useful too. @Martin Vidner

Rename .signature-* to signature* and you are done. http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1925.html says: (6) It is easier to move a problem around (for example, by moving the problem to a different part of the overall network architecture) than it is to solve it. (6a) (corollary). It is always possible to add another level of indirection. I think you got it wrong. Rename .signature-* to signature* and you are done.
