Description jmccann 2011-04-02 05:16:38 UTC 
It would be nice to use g_get_user_config_dir() instead of home directory to store configuration files.  In accordance with the XDG base directory spec.  http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

This has a number of benefits including making it much easier to migrate data.
Comment 1 Cole Robinson 2012-02-06 22:54:20 UTC 
The only thing virt-manager stores in home is debug output, so we probably want get_user_cache_dir

Comment 3 jmccann 2012-05-16 17:03:14 UTC 
I don't think writing log files to home is a good idea either. I think we want this information to end up in the systemd journal.

If you want this to be solved quicker, please provide a patch.

I am planning of fixing this when we port to gtk3, since that will already be disruptive enough that it will be a good time to change directory locations.
Comment 6 faispasierch 2012-11-30 15:42:16 UTC 
Just a question, when do you plan to port to GTK3?
Comment 7 Cole Robinson 2012-11-30 18:36:11 UTC 
Most of the work is done but its not upstream yet. I'm hoping to get it upstream before the end of the year, with a release soon after.
Comment 8 faispasierch 2013-08-29 12:56:55 UTC 
Is this bug still open?
Comment 9 Cole Robinson 2013-10-01 12:29:07 UTC 
Fixed upstream now
