Public bug reported:

According to XDG base dir standard user data is under ~/.local/share.
It's xdg_data_home in Python.

In future ~/.screenlets should be moved to ~/.local/share/screenlets.
Application should try to move screenlets directory by asking permission
from user before moving. Symlink should be added in the place of old
directory linking to the new directory. This can be removed after couple
of years or so...
