Excuse my blindness, but what's your point exactly, given that GeoToad is
provided for more than one OS flavour, and there's already a $GEO_DIR
environment variable to address the "clutter"?
AFAICT, XDG seems to be limited to Linux (? I haven't looked into Solaris for a
while, and what about MacOSX?), I might be wrong though.
(I agree that find{Config,Cache}Dir() in config.rb are suboptimal - I somewhat
inherited them, and patch ideas are welcome.)

What about the (preliminary, somewhat tested) patch attached?
It's supposed to select ~/.config/GeoToad as config directory - if there's no
~/.geotoad yet from an earlier run. (I strongly vote against a forced
migration, that's something the user should do herself - it's as easy as 'cd;
mv .geotoad .config/GeoToad' provided ~/.config does already exist; if not,
there's no way to detect XDG.)
Opinions?
