As it is a _cache_, it can be ephemeral. Rather, it should be in XDG_CONFIG_HOME. Once the keyboard shortcut list, for example, has been presented, I don't need to be told about it again, even if I need to purge my ~/.cache directory. This is a problem at our site, where XDG_CACHE_HOME is stored on a temporary filesystem, to cut down on the tremendous amount of useless network traffic between workstations and the user's file server. As a result, users now have to learn about Unity keyboard shortcuts on every single login. [ Test Case ] On a non-fresh install, log in to the Unity desktop. The Shortcuts screen should ne be displayed. [ Regression Potential ] The regression potential in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is nil since XDG_CONFIG_HOME is required to be writable in that distribution. [ Other Info ] The Ubuntu 14.04 LTS SRU was cherry-picked from Ubuntu 14.10 where the fix has been in production use for some time and has been stable.
