If you want to know which files are modified by a GUI, here's
a neat little CLI trick:

% touch stamp               # this creates a mark you'll use l8er

Do sth with the GUI that guarantees a yet unknown file is written.

% find ~ -newer stamp | xargs file

There will be some noise in the result because of some daemons running
concurrently, that's why I look for the file type.  Use common sense
to find out which file your GUI changed.
