Precedence Rules in Gathering Applications

Where duplicates exist along the search path, personal application groups have precedence over system-wide groups, and system-wide groups have precedence over built-in groups. For example, if both /usr/dt/appconfig/appmanager/C/Desktop_Tools and /etc/dt/appconfig/appmanager/C/Desktop_Tools exist, the application group under /etc will be the one used.
