Title:
  App .config not removed when app uninstalled

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in click package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in unity-scope-click package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If an app uses ~/.config/foo (say, uses Qt.labs.settings), and the
  user uninstalls the app, ~/.config/foo is not removed. It should be
  deleted when the app is uninstalled.

  Using latest utopic on the phone.

  ---------------------
  Desired resolution:

  - When a user deletes an app, 100% of files associated with the app
  should be deleted.

  - A warning notification should be displayed when a user goes to
  delete an app informing them that this action will also delete any
  data they have stored inside the app.  This notification should give
  the options of cancelling or proceeding with the action.

  - Users should not be allowed to delete the key apps that ship with
  the phone.  These key apps are defined as: Dialler, Address book,
  Messaging, Browser, Camera, Music player

  The above will give the user a simple easy to understand mental model
  while simultaneously protecting the user from deleting important
  content within the default apps.
