~/.local/share seemed a bizarre place to store data to me.

FWIW, it is where things like "Tomboy" (a post-it-note application)
store data (ie. its notes), without me ever having to worry about what
file they were saved in.

I guess it is a location for the kind of stateful program data of that
kind which is "per-user". Tomboy always works with the same set of
notes, it is single instance, and doesn't require me "File->Opening" the
data.

I can't think of any real parallels in gEDA. Most of our ~/.* data is
configuration and logs. Perhaps some of the gafrc config stuff in gEDA
is a bit more important than general preferences stuff which could be
rm'd, but I don't think I'd go so far as call it data.

<not a proposal>
Perhaps ~/.local/share/gEDA/sym/* would be a decent location to stash
locally created symbols on a per-user basis? (Works so long as any
transferable final output can embed the symbols with the schematic
file / project directory).
