Description William Jon McCann 2012-04-26 13:53:04 UTC 
Currently we store a few things in the home directory. It would be better to use the XDG base directory standard.

We store gtk accel maps and chess history it seems.

Review of attachment 213882 [details] [review]:

Since the "data directory" probably doesn't mean anything to a normal user could you please put the default location in brackets? e.g.
Copy your image(s) into the data directory (~/.local/share/gnect)
It's a bit yuck but until we have a logical name for these (or we fix gnect) it seems safer.
