The most famous traditional capital-lettered files are (IMHO):

/usr/bin/Xorg
/etc/X11/
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

Next on the list
are /etc/ImageMagick/, /etc/NetworkManager/, /etc/PackageKit/, and so
on...

By the way, I find it very braindead to search for documentation or
configuration on NetworkManager, and not ever try the obvious
"man networkmanager". And the man is even case-insensitive, for your
convenience.

In addition, in the SEE ALSO section it points you to read the
"man networkmanager.conf", which in turn tells you the exact path to
the configuration files at the very top of the document.

HTH, :-)
