SUMMARY

Using the example of Okular, refiling https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416729:

The configuration files for Okular includes a particularly surprising place at ~/.local/share/kxmlgui5/okular/shell.rc which prompts questions https://askubuntu.com/questions/1090285/where-does-okular-store-its-config-files. It should be moved to XDG_CONFIG_HOME per https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=397602 with any state remaining in XDG_LOCAL_HOME.

There's also ~/.config/okularpartrc and ~/.config/okularrc and the latter contains state data (State, Height, Width) which should be moved to XDG_LOCAL_HOME.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Follow steps in AskUbuntu question to see the configuration file pop up.
2. 
3.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As for the .rc files, we plan to move those to XDG_CONFIG_HOME, but it is unclear whether that will happen before KDE 6. See https://phabricator.kde.org/T12409

As for the window state: That indeed belongs into XDG_LOCAL_HOME, I proposed to move it there

Is this bug therefore a duplicate?
