Consider my dotfiles. There are three files in my dotfiles that don't reside in the XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory. These three files are my .bashrc, my .Xresources, and my .xinitrc files. I have these in my XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory and symlink to them from their expected locations because the programs don't respect the XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory specification. This is annoying to setup on each system I use. A simple solution to this is to not use software that doesn't respect the spec, but when Xorg and Bash don't respect the spec, it becomes a bit more difficult to do so.

The bigger issue is that the disconnect between the configuration of software and source code results in multiple sources of information contributing to the configuration of a software program. This is annoying because to achieve the same program configuration across systems one must ensure two different locations are synchronized instead of one.
