I think we, as developers, should decide a standard location for the ldraw.ini
on each platform.  It's simply too confusing to have many different locations.

I propose:
Windows:
%APPDATA%\ldraw\ldraw.ini
(this is where Microsoft tells you to put such things as INI files)

Mac:
$HOME/Library/Preferences/org.ldraw.plist
(preferred since root access is not required)

Linux:
No clue as I don't have a Linux box to play with.

(...) A little more on this. Upon musing I feel that the Mac platform should use the .ini format and not the .plist format. -Orion (16 years ago, 22-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad)
