Did you look inside _filedir_xspec? Could you call this function for
expansion or use similar approach?

It is not critical for gui but it would be nice. Because in gui these lists
are separate by design and could be used easily.
Also it could be helpful to have an option to show where default configuration
file is stored. Probably there should be information about other default files
too. Or maybe it is only needed to show either it is local installation or
system wide.
