Bug Description
Applications that use the XDG User Dirs spec to locate e.g. the music folder malfunction on the touch image due to a missing ~/.config/
On the desktop, this is created by the xdg-user-
sudo apt-get install xdg-user-dirs
xdg-
That package doesn't contain anything to run it on login, so perhaps a simple upstart session job would be appropriate? This seems like a pretty simple change that would improve compatibility with existing code.

From IRC:
17:58 <seb128> ogra_, jamesh: in the latest discussions it was not clear they wanted to support customisable/ translatables dirs in touch
17:58 <seb128> that adds complexity and overhead
17:58 <seb128> especially for the app isolation/apparmor
17:58 <ogra_> who does that discussion ?
17:59 <jamesh> seb128: if we don't support customisable user dirs, we could still provide the config file pointing at the non-translated dirs
17:59 <seb128> jamesh, that would work for me
So if we don't do the full translatable special folders thing, it would still be nice to provide the ~/.config/ user-dirs. dirs configuration file so that code that relies on the spec to locate the folders can see the untranslated folders.
