By the way, using ~/.config/Inkscape is not correct. It's also wrong to store palettes, templates and the like there. The right way to do this is to use g_get_user_config_dir for the configuration directory and g_get_user_data_dir for the data directory (palettes, templates, extensions...).

I disagree with your reading here.
I believe that the data directory is for user data. Things like a music player storing all of the user's music. Or a photo browser storing all of your photos. I like to think of the data directory are for files that users don't access through the filesystem.
