Me too. python-dev is the only place I have heard of \~/.local. I have
been using Linux (different distributions), Solaris and FreeBSD for quite
a long time (though I have never used GNOME/KDE/etc.)

Never heard of it either, would be completely baffled if caught unawares by it in the wild. Has anyone consulted with the LSB or a cross-platform filesystem layout guide to see what the recommended best-practice is?
