$ lsof | grep jd/.config
kded 846 jd 176r DIR 8,19 4096 263913
/sdb3/home/jd/.config/menus
kded 846 jd 177r DIR 8,19 4096 263914
/sdb3/home/jd/.config/menus/applications-merged
gnome-key 2291 jd mem REG 8,19 3608 286764
/sdb3/home/jd/.config/dconf/user
bluetooth 2483 jd mem REG 8,19 3608 286764
/sdb3/home/jd/.config/dconf/user
So, X is not the user of .config dir.
