We recently ran into this exact issue over on the Unix & Linux Stackoverflow site. It would've saved us a lot of time if this had been clearly documented. One of our senior users to the site finally brought this option to our attention. But only after he had actually offered a patch, giving us the option to override the location of the preferences.xml file, did he later find a thread about the portableapps maintainer wanting this option, did we discover that it even existed.
