Yes, at least as far as this is working:

#ifdef _WIN32
  std::string home_directory(std::getenv("USERPROFILE"));
  parameter_files.push_back(home_directory + "\\.fenics\\dolfin_parameters.xml");
  parameter_files.push_back(home_directory + "\\.fenics\\dolfin_parameters.xml.gz");
#else
  std::string home_directory(std::getenv("HOME"));
  parameter_files.push_back(home_directory + "/.fenics/dolfin_parameters.xml");
  parameter_files.push_back(home_directory + "/.fenics/dolfin_parameters.xml.gz");
#endif

What is ~/.local? It doesn't seem to be a standard place to store
config files. Another option is ~/.config which seems to be populated
with config files from quite a few applications.
