http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html How about move the configure files to XDG dirs(~/.config/color, etc). PS: Colord seems always trying to create ~/.color/icc even if users didn't change anything.
$ cat ~/.config/color cat: /home/hughsie/.config/color: No such file or directory ~/.color/icc is the deprecated location for icc profiles. It's been replaced by ~/.local/share/icc/ -- both are monitored by the session component. Are you using gnome-settings-daemon, colord-kde or xiccd?

Hi, I am using Archlinux, gnome 3.10, colord1.02. I tried to find ".color" in colord-gtk, gnome-settings-daemon, gnome-color-manager, seems all irrelevant. I tried many applications, "~/.color/icc" appears after I open "gnome-settings-daemon". I modified the code of colord, removed two lines in cd-icc-store.c, and "~/.color/icc" didn't showed up again. Overall, I don't really know where is the problem.
The gsd color plugin calls: ret = cd_icc_store_search_kind (priv->icc_store, CD_ICC_STORE_SEARCH_KIND_USER, CD_ICC_STORE_SEARCH_FLAGS_CREATE_LOCATION, NULL, &error); it explicitly asks to create the location, and from a quick look at the libcolord code, there is no notion of 'create the preferred location, but not the legacy one'.
