xdg base dir spec

[Kees Scherpenhuijzen]

Hey,

I'm working on a project to add actions to an
plugin(http://thunar.xfce.org/pwiki/projects/thunar-actions-plugin).
Now i'm trying to make an feature which can read/parse the .desktop
files(which contains the actions).
But i'm stuck at the question where to save the .desktop files. It is
user-specific so the HOME paths sounds good to me. but in which
category, CONFIG or DATA?

And a common question: when i try to echo some of these variables it
returns a empty line. Does this mean it will take the default?

Thanks,
