Yes, i expect them to be able to change after login. "Make this my
default directory for pictures" kind of thing.
xdg-user-dir-lookup is ok, because it doesn't do any form of caching.
But a less naive version would need monitoring or mtime checking.
Ok, just trying to clarify. In practice, the caching would be done by
the application. So the application would need to respond to some
kind of "user-directory-location-changed" signal from somewhere,
right?
