FYI, my home directory has only 2 directories under ~/GNUstep.  The first
is ~/GNUstep/Defaults/ where the defaults are.  And the second is
~/GNUstep/Library/Cookies/, and in this Cookies directory, I have a
Coookie.plist with some info about a google.com cookie.  This was likely
created when I ran the test suite.

This information kind of throws a wrench in my idea that only
GNUstep/Defaults normally existed.  But I don't see why we can't still
conform to the freedesktop.org spec here.  They also define $XDG_DATA_HOME
(defaults to ~/.local/share) and is defined as "the base directory relative
to which user specific data files should be stored."  Something like this
Cookie.plist file sounds like something that should be in .local/share/ to
me.

Furthermore, I do not have a ~/.GNUstep directory.
