Which aspect of LXDE creates the ~/.cache directory?  /etc/skel creates
these first three:

$ ls -a1
.
..
.bash_logout
.bashrc
.profile

But then these others are added when LXDE is run the first time:

$ ls -a1
.
..
.bash_logout
.bashrc
.cache
.config
.dbus
Desktop
.dmrc
Documents
Downloads
.gconf
.local
Music
Pictures
.profile
Public
Templates
Videos
.Xauthority
.xscreensaver
.xsession-errors

The reason I ask is so that the creation process can be changed to add a
CACHEDIR.TAG file [1] which can be used by GNU tar [2] to automatically
exclude that directory if the user so wishes.

[1]     The CACHEDIR.TAG file is explained here:
        http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html

[2]     Don't bother looking in the manual page for tar(1)  It is
        incomplete and does not explain the CACHEDIR.TAG file.
