I decided against adding support for the XDG based standard simply because I don't have a Linux machine available ATM.

I could probably assist at least in testing.

Also, if would break existing apps. I am open for a discussion, of course.

I've personally "seen" such a transition in Git config files. If you like to see what happens, sctrace can be used to trace the Git invocation. It does basically check "both" locations and uses the one that can be accessed:

$ strace git config -l 2>&1 | grep /home/albrecht | grep config
access("/home/albrecht/.config/git/config", R_OK) = 0
...
access("/home/albrecht/.gitconfig", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

In my case I moved the "classic" config file /home/albrecht/.gitconfig to the new XDG config file /home/albrecht/.config/git/config and Git happily opens the latter.

IMHO something like this could be done in FLTK 1.4 as well. Please keep in mind that you did already change the preferences file location in partially incompatible ways WRT FLTK 1.3.x.

I'd appreciate if we could do a further change to respect the XDG* standard on Linux and I'd be willing to assist.

FTR: Issue #79 is still open ...
