Public bug reported: I'm using Ubuntu 18.10 dev with mame 0.188+dfsg.1-0ubuntu2 and I noticed that MAME defines several directories in its ui.ini to be located in the current directory (which is the users home) and some of them like history are also automatically created if MAME is running. To not bloat up the users home directory it might make sense if mame.desktop would set the current directory to $HOME/.mame or $HOME/mame to avoid this issue.
