Looks mostly great except of that ~/.local/share may can contain unneeded dirs like ~/.local/share/Trash and ~/.local/share/evolution. Also various caches could be stored there. But this is likely something to discuss upstream.

hmmm, Two trashes, I believe  ~/.local/share/Trash and ~/.Trash .

~/.local/share/evolution should not be an issue on EL5.

Right, I was only checking my modern F15 system, app storage may change from version to version.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
