I agree, so I used the data directories.

Perhaps one day we'll split out "configuration" parameters (DisplayName,
AutomaticPresence, require-tls etc.) from "data" parameters (the existence of
the account, its login name, the server name you need to hard-code otherwise it
doesn't work on your network, the current avatar), but that can wait until
we've shaved the "make account storage make sense" yak. I think doing it right
would require a TP_CONN_MGR_PARAM_FLAG_CONFIG analogous to ..._SECRET.

This turns out to be just as complex as GVariant'ing everything, because our
internal storage model is poorly suited to splitting up into individual
keyfiles. I just kept the "one big keyfile called accounts.cfg" model.
