My guess is that you need to implement #2 anyway because you are going 
to want to support both XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_DATA_HOME for the portable 
implementation. For backward compatibility use ~/Templates if it exists, 
but write new templates only to XDG_DATA_HOME. No need for an 
configuration option, the user can set $XDG_DATA_HOME if the default 
doesn't feel right to him. Also I think this is the lesser of the two 
evil because it doesn't add anything to the gui.
