>From the file ~/.idle:

# IDLE reads several config files to determine user preferences.  This 
# file is the default config file.  When IDLE starts, it will look in
# the following four files in order:
#     config.txt                      the default config file
#     config-[win/unix/mac].txt       the generic platform config file
#     config-[sys.platform].txt       the specific platform config file
#     ~/.idle                         the user config file
