 Returning a directory that doesn't exist would be bad, yes.
 
 But the part about unconditionally returning the freedesktop fallback
 is that in !desktop situations I think $HOME would be a better choice.

+Well, FreeDesktop happens to have come up with the idea, but I dont
+think the idea is limited to desktop systems.  It is just a convention
+to stop the clutter in $HOME.
+
+I think we should apply this.  The only question is of course, making
+sure that the directory exists, but I think thta can be handled by the
+caller.
