Disagree, the location of stuff shouldn't change depending on with
which session you're logged in (or what directories already exist).

  When trying to run trunk on a fresh KDE install I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/zeitgeist-daemon", line 158, in <module>
    setup_logger(_config.options.log_level)
