Zotero for Linux should support the XDG Base Directory Specification

Currently, Zotero for GNU/Linux stores all user’s configuration and data files in $HOME/.zotero.
It would be very nice to support the XDG Base Directory Specification 0.6 (http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/0.6/index.html) and store the files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and $XDG_DATA_HOME instead. There are several advantages in following this specification. Among other things, it makes $HOME a lot less cluttered and makes backups easier.
