:-) Actually it's more complicated. ;-) The specification says you should use $XDG_DATA_HOME, and fall back to $HOME/.local/share if it isn't defined. > But if we don't have multiple users on the ben (on openwrt in general?), > maybe I could just hardcode the path to /root/.local/share?

By the way, the debian package for alex4 includes a patch which makes it use ~/.alex4/ for everything it writes. You can also apply that patch. (And while you're at it, you may apply the other patches as well; I don't know why they're not upstream, perhaps upstream is dead?)
