Here is my workaround to point XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME to
local paths instead of the default ~/.config and ~/.cache, which exist
on an NFS mounted home directory in my case.

Place the attached script in /etc/profile.d/ and adjust CONFIG_BASE_DIR
to your desired location. Mine is set thus:

CONFIG_BASE_DIR=/home/configs/${USER}

with /home/configs set to be writable by any user.

Then copy the contents of ~/.config and ~/.cache to
CONFIG_BASE_DIR/*username*/config and cache respectively
