Apps are allowed to write to their XDG basedirs. Eg, from the apparmor profile:
owner @{HOME}/.cache/@{APP_PKGNAME}/ rw, #
XDG_CACHE_HOME
owner @{HOME}/.cache/@{APP_PKGNAME}/** mrwkl,
owner @{HOME}/.config/@{APP_PKGNAME}/ rw, #
XDG_CONFIG_HOME
owner @{HOME}/.config/@{APP_PKGNAME}/** mrwkl,
owner @{HOME}/.local/share/@{APP_PKGNAME}/ rw, # XDG_DATA_HOME
owner @{HOME}/.local/share/@{APP_PKGNAME}/** mrwklix,
@{APP_PKGNAME} is set to the "name" field in the manifest file. I'm not sure if
there is a Qt API to give you the XDG_ paths, but upstart-app-launch will
make sure that the XDG environment variables are set, so you can use
QProcessEnvironment::systemEnvironment() to query for them and then append
"/<your app package name>" to what you find to have a writable directory.
