Public bug reported:

Please support the XDG base directory specification. It looks like
compiz in Ubuntu 13.04 Alpha uses ~/.compiz to store its cache. The
cache should be stored in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/compiz instead

This will make backups noticeably easier and will help reduce the
excessively cluttered home directory problem.
