I think you have the wrong idea what the config directory is.  It is the user 
configuration, not the Geany configuration.  Files like `geany.conf` and 
`session.conf` are the settings the user changes during editing, nothing to do 
with the installation of Geany.  It has to be a writable directory, which it is 
unlikely to be if it is within a system install directory.

First let me repeat, Geany is not designed as a portable app, it uses absolute 
paths in many places and is just as likely to not work if it or its data is 
moved.  That is pretty unlikely to change.

As I said you can move the config directory about, between machines with Geany 
installed, but it will need the files the user was editing to be in the same 
absolute path on the new machine for it to be very useful.  Things like which 
drive letter a plugin device is assigned will break it.
