Trawl through the invisible directories in your login looking for names
that relate to the desktop manager you're running.

I don't do anything with a GUI desktop on my RPi, but do use XFCE on my
other computers, which all run Fedora. It seems to put the files it needs
in .local (in your login directory) and /etc/xdg/xfce4 with a heap more
stuff in /usr/share/xcfe4 and /usr/share/doc/xfce4 so its likely that
other desktop managers do something similar.

Probably the best bet is to discover which desktop you're using and then
go find documentation for it on the 'net if its not in
/usr/local/share/doc

My RPi isn't running at present and its late s I'm not motivated to g oand
look it up. Besides, I've only seen its GUI desktop about once, at which
point I shuddered and have always accessed it via a terminal-type SSH
login - yeah, I *LIKE* command lines and do virtually all my C, Java and
SQL development that way on my Fedora systems: the best thing about GUI
desktops is that they support more than one terminal session with every
system I happen to be using at the time and the best thing about XFCE is
that it can handle multiple desktops at once.
