Title: gwibber stores data in XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory Status in Gwibber: New Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gwibber Gwibber appears to use an SQLite3 database to store the following details, each in its own database table: (1) account details (2) streams (3) searches (4) messages The problem is that it places this database in ~/.config/gwibber/gwibber.sqlite. This directory equates to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, but the use of this directory is invalid since (4) above is not "configuration". Admittedly, (1)-(3) inclusive *are* configuration, but on my system I have the following breakdown in rows / table: accounts: 1 row. searches: 4 rows. streams: 24 rows. messages: 61651 rows (!) As a result, my gwibble.sqlite is 121MB and 99.952% of these rows equate to "data", not "configuration". I would propose that gwibber either stores (1)-(3) in a simple .ini file, or as a simpler change, create two SQLite databases: one (tiny one!) for configuration in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and the other for data in $XDG_DATA_HOME.
