Summary:                    $HOME not honored when saving/loading config
Description: 
A friend of mine was trying out xfce and noticed that it doesn't use $HOME
when locating the home directory to look for and write its .xfce4/ config
files in.  He sets his $HOME before running many apps so that config is
stored on a local disk rather than in the NFS mounted home directories in
our environment.

IIRC, it's on purpose. There is another env var to achieve what you want.
