+10 again.  It shouldn't be that difficult to separate the location of 
system-wide read-only files from the location of user-specific files. 
I'd even be more than satisfied with a solution where the location of 
user-specific files had to be specified as a system property by changing 
idea.sh.

As it is, I'm running IDEA on one system using a LD_PRELOAD library hack 
that intercepts certain library calls (open, stat, and so on) and 
rewrites paths according to a set of rules in order to separate the 
user-specific files from the others...
