Right now, it looks like there are only two places to put config files which are hard coded?  (The global share and user space ~/.config/geany)  Is there an environment variable I can set to define a list of dirs for geany to look in?  Or, if anyone is familiar with the source code, where I can look to try and add my own changes to the source and recompile with this functionality?  Or, is there possibly a third way, by calling an 'include' or 'import' from within my user config to load a departmental config?  I'm using geany 1.23 in linux.

At least for user-specific configuration, I believe Geany honours the XDG Base Directory Specification by means of GTK+. I'm not sure it follows the system-wide parts of the spec though.
