Right, leave it to the xdg-* commands to find the right places for 
installation. They use environment variables which may not contain the 
defaults to find the installation directories, and they make sure to 
update GNOME/KDE/Whatever desktop system in the right ways.

But still it would be a good idea to avoid possible name conflicts by 
starting names with "xboard-".
