I actually prefer user settings to be per-project. It's cleaner when jumping between projects, and when an old project needs to be resurrected one can know that everything will reload the same way: layout, personal keyboard preferences, etc.
Houdini lets you set a variable called "HOUDINI_USER_PREF_DIR" that will force Houdini to look there first instead of $HOME. My memory of Maya is fuzzy but I believe it also lets you change that.
