Please don't. Don't invent a new method.

Let's just reuse $XDG_DATA_DIRS and $XDG_DATA_HOME. We already have an 
infrastructure of setting those values and we have reasonable defaults. I 
would also recommend renaming .service to .desktop and cascading the 
configuration like in the menu spec.

This means a lot of code for dbus-daemon and non 1.0 code.
