Benny:

The $HOME/.xfce4 directory is being created by libxfce4util:

#7  0x401988e2 in xfce_get_homedir () at xfce-miscutils.c:183
#8  0x4019c74f in _res_getenv (variable=0x4019eb4b "XDG_CACHE_HOME", 
    fallback=0x4019eb42 "~/.cache") at xfce-resource.c:66
#9  0x4019c922 in _res_init () at xfce-resource.c:136
#10 0x4019db6b in xfce_resource_save_location (type=XFCE_RESOURCE_CACHE, 
    relpath=0x40b12991 "/", create=1) at xfce-resource.c:707

>From looking at xfce-miscutils.c I see that this can be avoided by setting the
XFCE4HOME environment variable to g_get_homedir(). It seems a bit awkward to
have to do this, especially since the xdg directory returned from
xfce_resource_save_location(type=XFCE_RESOURCE_CACHE, relpath=0x40b12991 "/",
create=1) returns $HOME/.cache and has nothing to do with $HOME/.xfce4. 

Is this a bug or is it intended that the application must set XFCE4HOME?
