Some discussion on xdg paths has happened here, https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/apparmor/2013-August/004183.html -- it'd be nice to revive this.

This is only sufficient as long as one hasn't set the environment variable XDG_CACHE_HOME to point somewhere else. (Use case: store caches locally when home directories are on a remote fileserver.) I'd suggest defining a new tunable @{XDG_CACHE_HOME}=@{HOME}/.cache/ which local administrators could augment as needed (e.g., @{XDG_CACHE_HOME}+=/var/cache/xdg/*/ or whatever the local convention may be). Similar treatment may be needed for the other environment variables mentioned in the XDG basedir spec: XDG_CONFIG_HOME for @{HOME}/.config XDG_DATA_HOME for @{HOME}/.local/share (and/or @{HOME}/.local ?)
