I want a clean config directory!

And it can be done easily, ackshually. But what is that all about? The problem It has been a longstanding complaint that the ~/.config/ directory on Linux systems can get riddled with configuration files. This is the case with KDE software as well. My idea is that we should be putting those into subdirectories inside ~/.config/. The Freedesktop XDG Base Directory specification generally only states that standard configuration files should go under XDG_CONFIG_DIRS.
